I have done according to thy word,––lo! I have given unto thee a wise and discerning heart, so that, like thee, hath been none, before thee, and, after thee, shall rise up none, like thee. ¹³ Moreover also, what thou hast not asked, have I given unto thee, both riches and honour,––so that there hath been none, like thee, among the kings, all thy days. ¹⁴ And, if thou wilt walk in my ways, by keeping my statutes, and my commandments, as, David thy father, walked, then will I lengthen out thy days. ¹⁵ And Solomon awoke, and lo! it was a dream.

³⁰ Wilt, thou, therefore, hearken unto the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, whensoever they shall pray toward this place,––yea wilt, thou thyself, hear, in thine own dwelling–place, in the heavens, and, when thou hearest, then wilt thou forgive?

⁵ Return, and thou shalt say unto Hezekiah the leader of my people––Thus, saith Yahweh, God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears,––Behold me! about to heal thee, On the third day, shalt thou go up unto the house of Yahweh;

⁸ Now Hezekiah had said unto Isaiah, What sign is there, that Yahweh will heal me,––and that I shall go up on the third day, to the house of Yahweh?

³ howbeit, good things, are found with thee,–for that thou hast consumed the Sacred Stems out of the land, and hast fixed thy heart to seek God. ⁴ So Jehoshaphat dwelt in Jerusalem,––and he again went forth among the people, from Beersheba as far as the hill country of Ephraim, and brought them back unto Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
⁵ And he stationed judges in the land, throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city; ⁶ and said unto the judges, See what, ye, are doing, inasmuch as, not for man, must ye judge, but for Yahweh,––who will be with you, in the word of justice. ⁷ Now, therefore, let the dread of Yahweh be upon you,––observe and do, for there is, with Yahweh our God, neither perversity nor respect of persons nor the taking of bribes. ⁸ And, even in Jerusalem, did Jehoshaphat station some of the Levites and the priests, and of the ancestral chiefs of Israel, to pronounce the just sentence of Yahweh, and to settle disputes,––when they returned to Jerusalem. ⁹ And he laid charge upon them, saying,––Thus, shall ye act, in the fear of Yahweh, faithfully and with an undivided heart.

¹³ And, all Judah, were standing before Yahweh,––also their little ones, their wives and their children.

¹² But, in his distress, he appeased the face of Yahweh his God,––and humbled himself greatly, before the God of his fathers; ¹³ and, when he prayed unto him, then was he entreated of him, and hearkened unto his supplication, and brought him back to Jerusalem, unto his own kingdom, and so Manasseh came to know, that, Yahweh, is God.

¹⁹ both his prayer and how [God] was entreated of him––and all his sin and his treacherous act, and the sites whereon he built high places, and set up the Sacred Stems and the images, before he humbled himself, there they are, written in the story of the seers.

²³ But he did not humble himself before Yahweh as Manasseh his father humbled himself,––for, he, Amon, made guilt abound.

⁶ and said, O my God, I turn pale and am ashamed, to lift up, O my God, my face unto thee,––for, our iniquities, have multiplied above the head, and our guilt hath magnified itself unto the heavens.

²⁰ If I should justify myself, mine own mouth, would condemn me,––I blameless? then had it shewn me perverse.

⁴ Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one!

¹⁴ What is a mortal, that he should be pure? or that righteous should be one born of a woman? ¹⁵ Lo! in his holy ones, he putteth not confidence, and, the heavens, are not pure in his eyes: ¹⁶ How much less when one is detested and corrupt, a man who drinketh in––like water––perversity.

⁹ Widows, thou hast sent away empty, and, the arms of the fatherless, thou dost crush.

²⁹ When men cast themselves down, then thou shalt say: Up! And, him that is of downcast eyes, shall he save;

⁴ How then shall, a mortal, be just with GOD? Or how shall he be pure who is born of a woman?

⁸ For what shall be the hope of the impious, though he graspeth with greed, when GOD shall draw forth his soul? ⁹ His outcry, will GOD hear, when there cometh upon him distress? ¹⁰ Verily, in the Almighty, he will not find delight, nor call on GOD continually!

⁷ When I went out to the gate unto the city, in the open place, made ready my seat, ⁸ Young men saw me, and hid themselves, and, the aged, arose––they stood; ⁹ Rulers, restrained speech, and, a hand, laid they on their mouth; ¹⁰ The voice of nobles, was hushed, and their tongue to their palate, did cleave; ¹¹ When, the ear, heard, then it pronounced me happy, When, the eye, saw, then it bare me witness; ¹² Because I used to deliver the oppressed who was crying out for aid, the fatherless also, and him that had no helper; ¹³ The blessing of him that was ready to perish, upon me was wont to descend, and, the heart of the widow, caused I to sing for joy;

¹³ The blessing of him that was ready to perish, upon me was wont to descend, and, the heart of the widow, caused I to sing for joy; ¹⁴ Righteousness, I put on, and it clothed me, Like a robe and turban, was my, justice; ¹⁵ Eyes, became I to the, blind, and, feet to the lame, was, I! ¹⁶ A father, was, I, to the needy, and, as for the cause which I knew not, I used to search it out; ¹⁷ And I shivered the fangs of the perverse,––and, out of his teeth, I tare the prey.

²⁴ If I made gold my stay, and, to precious metal, said, My confidence! ²⁵ If I rejoiced because great was my substance, and, an abundance, my hand had discovered;

⁹ But if, an arm like GOD, thou hast, and, with a voice like his, thou canst thunder, ¹⁰ Deck thyself, I pray thee, with majesty and grandeur, Yea, with dignity and splendour, thou shalt clothe thyself; ¹¹ Pour out thy transports of anger, and look on every one who is high, and lay him low; ¹² Look on every one who is high, and humble him, yea tread down the lawless, on the spot: ¹³ Hide them in the dust all together, Their faces, bind thou in darkness;

² I know that, all things, thou canst do, and that no purpose can be withholden from thee.

⁶ For this cause, I tremble and repent, on dust and ashes.

¹⁰ And, Yahweh himself, turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed in behalf of his friends,––and Yahweh increased all that Job had possessed, unto twice as much.

¹ [To the Chief Musician. On "the Gittith." A Melody of David.]
O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth, Who hast set thy splendour upon the heavens. ² Out of the mouth of children and sucklings, hast thou laid a foundation of strength,––because of thine adversaries, to make foe and avenger be still.
³ When I view thy heavens, the work, of thy fingers, moon and stars, which thou hast established, ⁴ What was weak man, that thou shouldst make mention of him? or the son of the earthborn, that thou shouldst set him in charge?

⁸ And, he, will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to peoples, in uprightness.

³ For the lawless one hath boasted over the longing of his soul, and, the robber, hath blasphemed Yahweh.

¹⁵ Shatter thou the arm of the lawless one, And, as for the wrongful, wilt thou not enquire for his lawlessness––wilt thou not find [it]? ¹⁶ Yahweh, is king, to times age–abiding and beyond, The nations have perished out of his land. ¹⁷ The longing of the patient, thou hast heard, O Yahweh, Thou wilt establish their heart, Thou wilt make attentive thine ear: ¹⁸ To vindicate the fatherless and the crushed, A man of the earth, shall, no further, cause terror!

¹ [To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David.]
How long, O Yahweh, wilt thou wholly forget me? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me? ² How long shall I lay up cares within my soul, sorrow in my heart, day by day? How long shall mine enemy lift himself up over me?

¹ [To the Chief Musician. On "the Hind of the Dawn." A Melody of David.]
My GOD, my GOD, why hast thou forsaken me? Far from saving me, The words of my loud lamentation? ² My God! I keep crying––By day, and thou dost not answer, and, By night, and there is no rest for me. ³ But, thou, art holy, Who inhabitest the praises of Israel. ⁴ In thee, trusted our fathers, They trusted, and thou didst deliver them; ⁵ Unto thee, made they outcry, and escaped, In thee, they trusted, and had not turned pale. ⁶ But, I, am a worm and no one, a reproach of men, and despised of a people; ⁷ All that see me, laugh at me,––They open wide the mouth, They shake the head:–– ⁸ He should trust in Yahweh––let him deliver him,––Let him rescue him, seeing he delighteth in him. ⁹ For, thou, art he that severed me from the womb, he that caused me to trust, upon the breasts of my mother; ¹⁰ Upon thee, was I cast from the time I was born, From the womb of my mother, my GOD, hast thou been.
¹¹ Be not far from me, for, distress, is near, For there is none to help. ¹² Many bulls have surrounded me, Strong oxen of Bashan, have enclosed me; ¹³ They have opened wide against me their mouth, A lion rending and roaring. ¹⁴ Like water, am I poured out, and, put out of joint, are all my bones,––My heart, hath become, like wax, it is melted in the midst of my body; ¹⁵ Dried as a potsherd, is my strength, And, my tongue, is made to cleave to my gums, And, in the dust of death, wilt thou lay me. ¹⁶ For dogs have surrounded me,––An assembly of evil doers, have encircled me, They have pierced my hands and my feet, ¹⁷ I may tell all my bones, They, look for––they behold me! ¹⁸ They part my garments among them, and, for my vestment, they cast lots. ¹⁹ But, thou, O Yahweh, be not far off, O my help! to aid me, make haste; ²⁰ Rescue, from the sword, my life, from the power of the dog, my solitary self: ²¹ Save me from the mouth of the lion,––Yea, from the horns of wild beasts, hast thou delivered me.
²² I will declare thy Name unto my brethren,––In the midst of the convocation, will I praise thee. ²³ Ye that revere Yahweh, praise him, All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him, And, stand in awe of him, all ye seed of Israel. ²⁴ For he hath not despised nor abhorred the humbling of the patient one, neither hath he hid his face from him, but, when he cried for help unto him, he heard. ²⁵ Of thee, is my praise in the great convocation, My vows, will I pay, before them who revere him. ²⁶ The patient wronged–ones shall eat and be satisfied, They shall praise Yahweh, who are seekers of him, Let your heart live for aye. ²⁷ All the ends of the earth, will remember and turn to Yahweh, Yea all the families of the nations, will bow themselves down before thee, ²⁸ For, to Yahweh, belongeth the kingdom, And One to Rule over the nations. ²⁹ All the great ones of the earth, shall eat and bow down, Before him shall kneel, all that go down to the dust, Even he who had not kept alive, his own soul! ³⁰ My seed, shall serve him, It shall be recounted, of the Lord, to a generation that shall come: ³¹ That his righteousness may be declared to a people to be born, That he wrought with effect!

⁷ The sins of my youth, and my transgressions, do not thou call to mind,––According to thine own lovingkindness, remember thou me, for the sake of thine own goodness, O Yahweh.

¹¹ For the sake of thy Name, O Yahweh, Therefore wilt thou pardon mine iniquity, for great it is.

⁴ One thing, have I asked of Yahweh, That, will I seek to secure,––That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh, all the days of my life, To view the delightfulness of Yahweh, And to contemplate in his temple.

¹³ I believe that I shall see––The goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living,

² O Yahweh, my God, I cried for help unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

⁹ For, he, spake, and it was, He, commanded, and it stood forth.

¹⁶ Better the little of the righteous man, than the abundance of the lawless who are mighty;

¹² For there have closed in upon me, misfortunes beyond number, Mine iniquities have overtaken me, and I cannot see, They have become more than the hairs of my head, And, my courage, hath forsaken me!

⁴ I, said––O Yahweh, show me favour, heal thou my soul, for I have sinned against thee:

⁵ God, is in the midst of her, she shall not be shaken, God will help her, by the turnings of the morning.

¹ [To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. When Nathan the Prophet had come to him, after he had gone in unto Bath–sheba.]
Be favorable unto me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness, And, in the multitude of thy compassions, blot out my transgressions; ² Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And, from my sin, make me pure; ³ For, my transgressions, do, I, acknowledge, And, my sin, is before me continually:

¹ [To the Chief Musician: with Stringed Instruments. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. When the Ziphites came and said unto Saul, Is not, David, hiding himself, with us?]
O God! by thine own Name, save me, And, by thine own strength, wilt thou vindicate me? ² O God! Hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth; ³ For, aliens, have risen up against me, And, men of violence, have sought my life, They have not set God before them. [Selah.]
⁴ Lo! God, is bringing me help, My Lord, is with the upholders of my life; ⁵ Let him turn back the mischief upon mine adversaries, In thy faithfulness, destroy them! ⁶ With a freewill–offering, will I sacrifice unto thee, I will praise thy Name, O Yahweh, for it is good; ⁷ For, out of all distress, hath he rescued me,––And, upon my foes, hath, mine own eye, looked.

¹⁶ I, unto God, will cry,––And, Yahweh, will save me. ¹⁷ At evening and morning and high noon, have I been wont to lament and complain, And he hath heard my voice!

¹² And, thine, O My Lord, is lovingkindness,––For, thou, wilt pay back unto every man––according to his deed.

⁴ Thus, will I bless thee while I live, In thy Name, will I lift up mine outspread hands: ⁵ As with fatness and richness, shall my soul be satisfied, And, with joyfully shouting lips, shall my mouth utter praise.

² Thou hearer of prayer! Unto thee, shall all flesh come.

¹ [To the Chief Musician. On "The Lilies." David’s.]
Save me, O God, For waters have entered as far as the life; ² I have sunk in deep swamp, Where there is no place to stand, I have come into abysses of waters, Where a flood hath overflowed me; ³ I am weary with mine outcry, Parched is my throat,––Mine eyes have become dim, through waiting for my God. ⁴ More than the hairs of my head, Are they who hate me without cause,––Firmer than my bones, Are they who are my foes for false cause,––What I had not plundered, then, had I to restore. ⁵ O God, thou, hast known my folly, And, my wrong–doings, from thee, have not been hid. ⁶ Let them not be ashamed, through me, Who have waited for thee, O My Lord, Yahweh of hosts,––Let them not be confounded, through me, Who are seeking thee, O God of Israel! ⁷ Because, for thy sake, have I borne reproach, Confusion hath covered my face; ⁸ One estranged, have I become, to my own brethren, Yea, an alien, to the sons of my own mother; ⁹ Because, zeal for thy house, hath eaten me up, And, the reproaches of them who have reproached thee, have fallen upon me. ¹⁰ When I have humbled my soul with fasting, Then hath it turned to my reproach; ¹¹ When I have made my clothing of sackcloth, Then have I served them for a by–word; ¹² They who sit in the gate talk against me,––And [against me are] the songs of them who imbibe strong drink.
¹³ But, as for me, my prayer shall be unto thee, O Yahweh, in a time of acceptance, O God, in the abounding of thy lovingkindness, answer me with thy saving faithfulness. ¹⁴ Rescue me out of the mire, lest I sink, Let me be rescued, From my haters, and, From abysses of waters: ¹⁵ Let not a flood of waters overflow me, And let not the depth swallow me up, Neither let the well close, over me, her mouth. ¹⁶ Answer me, O Yahweh, for good is thy lovingkindness, According to the abounding of thy compassions, turn thou towards me: ¹⁷ Then do not hide thy face from thy servant, Because I am in distress, haste thou––answer me! ¹⁸ Oh draw near unto my soul––redeem it, Because of mine enemies, ransom me. ¹⁹ Thou, knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion, Before thee, are all mine adversaries. ²⁰ Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am weak,––Though I waited for one to pity me, yet there was none, And for comforters, yet I found not any. ²¹ But they put in my food––poison! And, for my thirst, they gave for my drink––vinegar!
²² Let their table, before them, become a snare, And unto their friends, a lure; ²³ Let their eyes become too dim to see, And, their loins, continually cause thou to shake; ²⁴ Pour out over them thine indignation, And let, the glow of thine anger, overtake them: ²⁵ Let their encampment become desolate, In their tents, be there none to dwell: ²⁶ For, whom, thou thyself, hadst smitten, they pursued, And, unto the pain of thy wounded ones, they must needs add. ²⁷ Lay punishment on their iniquity, And let them not enter into thy righteousness; ²⁸ Let them be blotted out of the book of life, And, with the righteous, let them not be enrolled. ²⁹ I, then, am humbled and in pain, Thy salvation, O God, may it set me on high.
³⁰ I will praise the Name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving; ³¹ So shall it be more pleasing to Yahweh than a bullock of the herd, Showing horn [and] divided hoof. ³² The humbled have seen––they rejoice! Ye seekers of God, let your heart, then, revive; ³³ For, a Hearkener to the needy, is Yahweh, And, his prisoners, hath he not despised. ³⁴ Let the heavens and the earth, praise him, The seas, and everything that creepeth therein. ³⁵ For, God, will save Zion, And build the cities of Judah, So shall men dwell there, and possess it: ³⁶ Yea, the seed of his servants, shall inherit it, And, the lovers of his Name, shall settle down therein.

⁵ Of the toil of weak mortals, have they none, Nor, with the sons of earth, are they hard smitten. ⁶ For this cause, doth arrogance deck them as a neck–chain, And a garment of wrong is their attire; ⁷ Their iniquity, hath proceeded from fatness, They have surpassed the imaginations of the heart; ⁸ They mock, and wickedly command oppression, From on high, they command; ⁹ They have set, in the heavens, their mouth, And, their tongue, marcheth through the earth. ¹⁰ Therefore must his people return thither, And, the waters of abundance, are drained by them; ¹¹ And they say––How doth GOD know? And is there knowledge in the Most High? ¹² Lo! these, are the lawless, Who are secure for an age, They have attained unto wealth.

¹⁰ For better is a day in thy courts, than a thousand, I choose rather to stand at the threshold in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of lawlessness. ¹¹ For, a sun and shield, is Yahweh God,––Grace and glory, will Yahweh give, He will not withhold what is good, from them who walk without blame. ¹² O Yahweh of hosts! How happy the man who trusteth in thee!

³ Show me favour, O My Lord, For, unto thee, do I cry, all the day;

¹⁵ But, thou, O My Lord, art, A God of compassion and favour, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness a faithfulness. ¹⁶ Turn thou unto me, and show me favour,––Give thy strength to thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid.

¹ [A Song, a Melody. For the Sons of Korah. To the Chief Musician. On "Mahalath." For alternate Song. An Instructive Psalm. By Heman the Ezrahite.]
O Yahweh, God of my salvation, By day, have I made outcry, In the night, [also] before thee.

¹⁷ Hath turned towards the prayer of the destitute, And not despised their prayer,

¹ Bless, O my soul, Yahweh,––And all that is within me, his holy Name; ² Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, And forget not all his dealings:–– ³ Who forgiveth all thine iniquity, Who healeth all thy diseases;

⁶ We have sinned––with our fathers, We have acted perversely, we have committed lawlessness;

⁸ Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men;

¹⁵ Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men!

²⁰ He sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth them from their graves. ²¹ Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men! ²² Yea let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and recount his works with a shout.

³¹ Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men! ³² Yea let them extol him in the convocation of the people, and, in the seated company of elders, let them praise him.

⁴¹ [WAW.] And let thy lovingkindness reach me, O Yahweh, thy salvation, according to thy word.

⁷² Better to me, is the law of thy mouth, than thousands of gold and silver.

¹⁰³ How smooth to my palate is thy speech, More than honey, to my mouth.

¹¹¹ As an inheritance have I taken thy testimonies unto times age–abiding, for, the joy of my heart, they are.

¹²⁷ For this cause, do I love thy commandments, More than gold, yea than fine gold!

¹⁶² Joyful am I over thy word, Like the finder of spoil in abundance.

³ If, iniquities, thou shouldest mark, O Yah, O My Lord, who could stand? ⁴ But, with thee, is forgiveness, that thou mayest be revered.

⁷ Wait, O Israel, for Yahweh,––for, with Yahweh, is lovingkindness, and there aboundeth with him––redemption.

¹ [A Song of Ascents. David’s.]
O Yahweh, my heart, is not haughty, nor are mine eyes, lofty, neither have I moved among great matters, or among affairs too wonderful for me. ² Surely I have soothed and silenced my soul,––like a weaned child, concerning his mother, like a weaned child, concerning myself––mine own soul.

¹ [A Song of Ascents.]
Lo! bless Yahweh, all ye servants of Yahweh, who stand in the house of Yahweh, by night:

² Who stand In the house of Yahweh, In the courts of the house of our God.

⁶ Though lofty is Yahweh, yet, the lowly, he regardeth, but, the haughty––afar off, doth he acknowledge.

¹ [A Melody of David.]
O Yahweh, I have cried unto thee, Make thou haste to me, Give ear unto my voice, when I cry to thee.

⁵ I have made outcry unto thee, O Yahweh,––I have said, Thou, art my refuge, my portion, in the land of the living. ⁶ Attend thou unto my loud cry, for I am brought very low,––Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are stronger than I. ⁷ O bring forth, out of prison, my soul, That I may give thanks unto thy Name,––About me, let the righteous gather round, for thou wilt deal bountifully with me.

² Do not then enter into judgment with thy servant, for no one living, can appear just before thee.

⁷ Speedily answer me, O Yahweh, My spirit faileth,––Do not hide thy face from me, or I shall be made like unto them who go down into the pit. ⁸ Let me hear, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, for, in thee, have, I trusted,––Let me know the way in which I should walk, for, unto thee, have I uplifted my soul. ⁹ Rescue me from my foes, O Yahweh, Unto thee, have I come seeking refuge.

⁸ Yahweh, who opened [the eyes of] the blind, Yahweh, who raiseth the prostrate, Yahweh, who loveth the righteous;

³⁴ Though at scoffers he scoffeth, yet, to the humbled, he granteth favour.

²⁸ He that trusteth in his riches, the same, shall fall, but, like the leaf, shall the righteous break forth.

³³ The reverence of Yahweh, is the correction of wisdom, and, before honour, is humility.

¹⁸ Before grievous injury, pride! and, before a fall, haughtiness of spirit!
¹⁹ Better is lowliness of spirit, with the patient, than a portion of spoil, with the proud.

¹¹ The substance of a rich man, is his strong city, and like a high wall, in his imagination.
¹² Before grievous injury, a man’s heart is haughty, and, before honour, is humility.

⁷ The righteous doth acknowledge the plea of the poor, but, the lawless, regardeth not knowledge.

²³ The loftiness of a man, layeth him low,––but, one of a lowly spirit, shall attain unto honour.

⁹ Lest I be full, and deny, and say––Who is Yahweh? or lest I be impoverished and steal, and do violence to the Name of my God.

¹² A generation! Pure in its own eyes, yet, from its filth, hath it not been bathed,

⁷ Go thy way––eat, with gladness, thy food, and drink, with a happy heart, thy wine,––when already God is well pleased with thy works.

¹⁵ Even when ye spread forth your open palms, I hide mine eyes from you; Yea, though ye multiply, prayers, I am not hearkening,––Your hands, with deeds of blood, are filled.

¹⁷ Learn to do well––Seek justice, Correct the oppressor,––Vindicate the fatherless, Plead the cause of the widow. ¹⁸ Come, I pray you, and let us settle the dispute, Saith Yahweh,––Though your sins be found like scarlet, As snow, shall they be made white, Though they appear red like crimson, As wool, shall they become.

²¹ How, hath she become unchaste!––The city that was Faithful,––Full of justice, Righteousness lodged in her, But, now, murderers! ²² Thy silver, hath become dross,––Thy wine, weakened with water; ²³ Thy rulers, are unruly, and companions of thieves, Every one of the people, loveth a bribe, and runneth after rewards,––The fatherless, they do not vindicate, And, the plea of the widow, reacheth them not.

¹¹ The lofty looks of mean men, shall be humbled, And, the haughtiness of great men, shall be bowed down,––And Yahweh alone, shall be exalted, in that day. ¹² For, a day of Yahweh of hosts, [shall be]––Upon every one who is high and lofty,––And upon every one who is lifted up, And he shall be brought low; ¹³ And upon all cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up,––And upon all the oaks of Bashan; ¹⁴ And upon all the lofty mountains,––And upon all the uplifted, hills; ¹⁵ And upon every high tower,––And upon every fortress wall; ¹⁶ And upon all the ships of Tarshish,––And upon all desirable, banners. ¹⁷ And the haughtiness of mean men, shall be humbled,––And the loftiness of great men, shall be laid low,––And Yahweh alone, shall be exalted, in that day.

⁵ Then said I––Woe to me!––for I am undone, Because, a man of unclean lips, am, I, And, in the midst of a people of unclean lips, do, I, dwell,––For, the King, Yahweh of hosts, have mine eyes seen!

²⁰ To the law and to the testimony! If they speak not according to this word, [It is] because they have no, dawning day.

⁶ For, A Child, hath been born to us, A Son, hath been given to us, And the dominion is upon his shoulder,––And his Name hath been called, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty GOD, Father of Futurity, Prince of Prosperity. ⁷ Of the increase of dominion, and of prosperity, There shall be no end––Upon the throne of David, and, Upon his kingdom, By establishing it, and, By sustaining it, With justice, and, With righteousness,––From henceforth, Even unto times age–abiding: The jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will perform this!

¹ But there shall come forth a shoot from the stock of Jesse,––And, a sprout, from his roots, shall bear fruit;

¹⁸ Therefore, in that day, shall the deaf hear, the words of a book,––And, out of gloom and darkness, the eyes of the blind, shall see; ¹⁹ And again, shall the humbled, in Yahweh, have joy,––And, the needy of mankind, in the Holy One of Israel, exult;

⁸ The highways, are deserted, The passer–by on the path, hath ceased,––He hath broken covenant, He hath despised cities, He hath made no account of men.

⁵ Then, shall be opened, the eyes of the blind,––And, the ears of the deaf, be unstopped:

¹⁶ Thus will I lead the blind, by a way they know not, In paths they know not, will I guide them,––I will make, the place that was dark before them, to be, light, And, crooked, ways, to be, straight, These things, have I done unto them, And have not forsaken them.

⁷ Every one who is called by my Name, Whom, for mine own glory, I have created––formed––yea, made!
⁸ Bring forth, A blind people, that have, eyes, and, A deaf, that have, ears.

²¹ A people which I have fashioned for myself, My praise, shall they record.

²⁵ In Yahweh, shall be justified and shall boast themselves––All the seed of Israel.

⁶ My back, gave I to smiters, and, My cheeks, to them who pulled out the beard,––My face, hid I not, from insult and spitting.

¹⁴ The more that Many, were amazed at thee, So marred, beyond any man’s, was his appearance,––And his form, beyond the sons of men,

¹ Who, believed what we have heard? And, the arm of Yahweh, to whom was it revealed? ² When he came up as a sapling before him, And as a root–sprout out of dry ground, He had neither beauty nor majesty,––When we beheld him, there was nothing to behold, that we should desire him; ³ Despised was he, and forsaken of men, Man of pains, and familiar with sickness,––Yea, like one from whom the face is hidden, Despised, and we esteemed him not.

³ Despised was he, and forsaken of men, Man of pains, and familiar with sickness,––Yea, like one from whom the face is hidden, Despised, and we esteemed him not.
⁴ Yet surely, our sicknesses, he, carried, And, as for our pains, he bare the burden of them,––But, we, accounted him stricken, Smitten of God, and humbled. ⁵ Yet, he, was pierced for transgressions that were ours, was crushed for iniquities that were ours,––The chastisement for our well–being, was upon him, And, by his stripes, there is healing for us. ⁶ We all, like sheep, had gone astray, Every man––to his way, had we burned,––And, Yahweh! caused to light upon him, The guilt of, us all! ⁷ Hard pressed––yet, he, humbled himself, Nor opened his mouth––As, a lamb, to the slaughter, is led, And, as a sheep, before her shearers, is dumb––Nor opened his mouth. ⁸ By constraint and by sentence, was he taken away, And, of his age, who considered, That he was cut off out of the land of the living, For my people’s transgression, did the stroke fall on him? ⁹ And, appointed with lawless men, was his grave, And, with the wicked, his tomb,––Though, no violence, had he done, Nor was guile in his mouth.
¹⁰ Yet, Yahweh, purposed to bruise him, He laid on him sickness:––If his soul become an offering for guilt, He shall see a seed, He shall prolong his days,––And, the purpose of Yahweh, in his hand, shall prosper: ¹¹ Of the travail of his soul, shall he see, He shall be satisfied with his knowledge, A setting right, when set right himself, shall my Servant win for the Many, Since, of their iniquities, he, taketh the burden.

¹¹ Of the travail of his soul, shall he see, He shall be satisfied with his knowledge, A setting right, when set right himself, shall my Servant win for the Many, Since, of their iniquities, he, taketh the burden. ¹² Therefore, will I give him a portion in the great, And, the strong, shall he apportion as spoil, Because he poured out, to death, his own soul, And, with transgressors, let himself be numbered,––Yea, he, the sin of Many, bare, And, for transgressors, interposeth.

¹⁵ For, thus, saith he that is high, and lifted up––Inhabiting futurity, And, holy, is his name: A high and holy place, will I inhabit, Also with the crushed and lowly in spirit, To revive the spirit of the lowly, and, To revive the heart of them who are crushed; ––

² Yet, me––day by day, do they seek, And, in the knowledge of my ways, they delight,––Like a nation that had done, righteousness, And, the justice of their God, had not forsaken, They ask of me the just regulations, In approaching God, they delight.

² Yet, me––day by day, do they seek, And, in the knowledge of my ways, they delight,––Like a nation that had done, righteousness, And, the justice of their God, had not forsaken, They ask of me the just regulations, In approaching God, they delight. ³ Wherefore have we Fasted and thou hast not seen? Humbled our soul, and thou wouldst take no note? Lo! in the day of your fast, ye take pleasure, But all your toilers, ye drive on!

⁵ Yet didst thou meet, Him who was rejoicing, and working righteousness, Even them who, in thy ways, remembered thee,––Lo! thou, hast been vexed, And truly we had sinned, Among them, was [the prospect of] an age [to come], That we might be saved.
⁶ But we have become as one unclean, all of us, And, as a garment polluted, were all our righteous doings,––And so we faded like a leaf, all of us, And, our iniquity, as a wind, carried us away;

⁵ Who say––Draw near by thyself, Do not approach with me, For I am holier than thou! These, are, A smoke in my nostrils, A fire, burning all the day.

⁵ Hear the word of Yahweh, ye who care anxiously for his word: Said your brethren, Who hated you, Who thrust you out for my Name’s sake, Yahweh be glorified! Therefore shall he appear to your rejoicing, But, they, shall turn pale.

²⁸ Where then are thy gods, which thou hast made for thyself? Let them arise, if they can save thee, in the time of thy calamity,––For, according to the number of thy cities, have become thy gods, O Judah.

³¹ O generation, see, ye, the word of Yahweh, A desert, became I unto Israel? Or a land of thick darkness? Wherefore, have my people said, We have roved about, We will not come in, any more, unto thee?

³⁵ Although thou saidst, Because I am innocent, surely hath his anger, turned back from me,––Behold me! entering into judgment with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned!

⁵ I will betake me unto the great men, and will speak, with them! For, they, know, the way of Yahweh, the justice of their God! Yea but, they, with one accord, have, broken the yoke, torn off the bands.

²⁸ They have waxed fat, they shine, Yea, they have overpassed the records of wickedness. The right, have they not determined, the right of the fatherless, that they might prosper,––Yea, justice to the helpless, have they not decreed.

¹¹ But, Yahweh, is with me, as a mighty one striking terror, For this cause, shall my persecutors stumble, and not prevail,––They have turned very pale, For they have not prospered, Confusion age–abiding, it shall not be forgotten! ¹² But, O Yahweh of hosts––Testing the righteous, Beholding the affections and the heart,––Let me see thine avenging upon them, For, unto thee, have I laid bare my cause. ¹³ Sing ye to Yahweh! Praise ye Yahweh! For he hath delivered the soul of the needy, out of the hand of evildoers.

¹⁶ [Did he not] plead the cause of the oppressed and the needy, And, then, it was well? Was not, that, to know, me? Demandeth Yahweh. ¹⁷ Verily thou hast neither eyes, nor heart, save for thy plundering and for thy shedding of, innocent blood, and for oppression and for crushing, to do, them!

⁵ Lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, when I will raise up to David, A righteous Bud, And he shall reign as, king, and prosper, And shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

¹² So shall ye call upon me,––And go and pray unto me,––And I will hearken unto you;

¹² So shall ye call upon me,––And go and pray unto me,––And I will hearken unto you; ¹³ So shall ye seek me, and find, For ye will enquire after me, with all your heart;

¹⁸ I have, heard, Ephraim, bemoaning himself, Thou hast chastised me, and I have been chastised, Like a bullock, not broken in, Suffer me to return, that I may, return, For, thou, art Yahweh my God. ¹⁹ Surely, after my return, I was filled with regret, And, after I came to know myself, I smote upon the thigh,––I turned pale, and was even confounded, For I had borne the reproach of my youthful days.

¹⁷ Alas! My Lord, Yahweh! Lo! thou thyself, didst make the heavens, and the earth, by thy great might, and by thine outstretched arm,––There is, nothing, too wonderful for thee:

³⁹ And I will give them one heart, and one way, That they may revere, me, all the days,––For the good of them, and of their children after, them;

⁶³ To the end thou mayest remember, and turn pale, and there be to thee, no more, an opening of mouth, because of thy reproach,––In that I have accepted a propitiatory covering for thee, as to all that thou hast done, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.

⁶ Lo! the, princes of Israel, every man for his own arm, have they been in thee, For the sake of shedding blood. ⁷ Father and mother, have they despised in thee, To the sojourner, have they dealt with oppression, in the midst of thee,––The fatherless and the widow, have they maltreated in thee: ⁸ My holy things, hast thou despised,––And, my sabbaths, hast thou profaned:

³¹ That they may come unto thee as people do, come, And may sit before thee, [as] my people, And they will hear thy words, But, the words themselves, will they not do,––though, fond with their mouths, they, seem to be, After their unjust gain, their heart, is going.

³⁵ And, all the inhabitants of the earth, as nothing, are accounted, and, according to his own pleasure, dealeth he––with the army of the heavens, and the inhabitants of the earth,––and none there is who can smite upon his hand, or say to him, What hast thou done?

³⁷ Now, I, Nebuchadnezzar, am praising and extolling and honouring the King of the Heavens, all whose works, are truth, and, his ways, right; and, them who walk in pride, he is able to abase,

⁵ We have sinned and committed iniquity, and been guilty of lawlessness and been rebellious,––even departing from thy commandments, and from thy regulations;

⁷ To thee, O Lord, belongeth righteousness, but, to us, the shame of faces, as at this day,––to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, the near and the far off, throughout all the lands whither thou hast driven them, in their treachery, wherewith they had been treacherous against thee. ⁸ O Yahweh, to us, belongeth the shame of faces, to our kings, to our rulers, and to our fathers,––in that we have sinned against thee. ⁹ To the Lord our God, belong compassions, and forgivenesses,––for we have rebelled against him; ¹⁰ and have not hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh our God,––to walk in his instructions which he set before us, through means of his servants the prophets; ¹¹ yea, all Israel, have transgressed thy law, even going away, so as not to hearken unto thy voice,––therefore, were poured out upon us, the curse and the oath which had been written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we had sinned against him.

¹⁸ Incline, O my God, thine ear, and hearken, open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city on which hath been called thy name; for, not on the ground of our own righteousnesses, are we causing our supplications to fall down before thee, but on the ground of thine abounding compassions. ¹⁹ O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hearken and perform! Do not delay! For thine own sake, O my God, because, thine own name, hath been called, upon thy city, and upon thy people.

²⁶ And, after the sixty–two weeks, shall the Anointed One, be cut off, and have, nothing,––and, the city and the sanctuary, will one destroy with the Prince, and so will his own end come with an overwhelming flood, howbeit, up to the full end of the war, are decreed astounding things.

⁷ When my soul, darkened itself over me, Yahweh, I remembered,––and my prayer, came in unto thee, unto thy holy temple.

¹ Then said I, Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and ye judges of the house of Israel,––Is it not yours to know justice? ² Ye haters of right, and lovers of wrong,––tearing away their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; ³ Who indeed have eaten the flesh of my people, and, their skin from off them, have stript, and, their bones, have they broken in pieces,––and will spread them out, as flesh with a fork, and as flesh, in the midst of a pot.

¹¹ Her heads, for a bribe, pronounce sentence, and, her priests, for a price, give direction, and, her prophets, for silver, divine,––yet, on Yahweh, they lean, saying, Is not, Yahweh, in our midst? there shall not come upon us, calamity.

¹ Meanwhile, shalt thou gather together in troops, thou daughter of a troop, siege, hath he laid against us,––with a sceptre, will they smite on the cheek, the judge of Israel!

³ For yet is the vision for an appointed time, still, it presseth towards an end, and will not deceive,––if it tarry, wait thou for it, for it, surely cometh,––will not be too late. ⁴ Lo! as for the conceited one, crooked is his soul within him,– but, one who is righteous, by his faithfulness, shall live.

⁵ Speak thou unto all the people of the land, and unto the priests, saying,––When ye fasted and lamented in the fifth and in the seventh, even these seventy years, did ye, really fast, unto, me? ⁶ And, when ye used to eat and when ye used to drink, was it not, of your own accord, ye did eat, and, of your own accord, ye did drink?

⁶ Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Because it will be marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people, in those days, In mine own eyes also, shall it be marvelous? Demandeth Yahweh of hosts.

⁷ O Sword! awake against my shepherd, even against the man that is my companion, urgeth Yahweh of hosts,––Smite the shepherd, and let the flock, be scattered, Howbeit I will turn back my hand over the little ones.

⁶ A son, will honour a father, and, a servant, his lord,–– If then, a father, I am, where is mine honour? And, if, a lord, I am, where is my reverence? saith Yahweh of hosts–– to you, ye priests, who despise my Name, and yet say, Wherein have we despised thy Name?

⁸ Will, a son of earth, defraud, God? Nevertheless, ye, have been defrauding me, and yet ye say, Wherein have we defrauded thee? In the tithe and the offering.

²³ and came and fixed his dwelling in a city called Nazareth,––that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets––A Nazarene, shall he be called.

⁷ But, seeing, many of the Pharisees and Sadducees, coming unto his immersion, he said to them,––Broods of vipers! who suggested to you, to be fleeing from the coming wrath? ⁸ Bring forth, therefore, fruit worthy of repentance; ⁹ and think not to be saying within yourselves,––As our father, we have, Abraham; for, I say unto you, that God is able, out of these stones, to raise up children unto Abraham. ¹⁰ Already also, the axe, unto the root of the trees, is being laid,––every tree, therefore, not bringing forth good fruit, is to be hewn down, and, into fire, to be cast.

¹⁹ and he saith unto them, Come after me,––and I will make you fishers, of men. ²⁰ And, they, straightway, leaving the nets, followed him. ²¹ And, going forward from thence, he saw other two brethren––James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother––in the boat with Zebedee their father, putting in order their nets,––and he called them. ²² And, they, straightway, leaving the boat and their father, followed him.

³ Happy, the destitute, in spirit; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens;

¹ [But] take heed, that ye do not, your righteousness, before men, to be gazed at by them,––otherwise at least, reward, have ye none, with your Father who is in the heavens.

⁵ And, when ye may be praying, ye shall not be as the hypocrites, because they love, in the synagogues, and at the corners of the broad ways, to take their stand and pray, that they may shine before men; Verily, I say unto you, they are getting back their reward.

¹⁶ And, when ye may he fasting, become not ye, as the hypocrites, of sullen countenance,––for they darken their looks, that they may appear, unto men, to be fasting: Verily, I say unto you, they are getting back their reward.

¹⁹ Be not laying up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where, moth and rust, do tarnish, and where, thieves, dig through and steal; ²⁰ but be laying up or yourselves treasures in heaven, where, neither moth nor rust, doth tarnish, and where, thieves, dig not through nor steal:

⁷ Be asking, and it shall be given you, Be seeking, and ye shall find,––Be knocking, and it shall be opened unto you.

¹¹ If then, ye, being, evil, know how, good gifts, to be giving unto your children, how much more, will, your Father who is in the heavens, give good things to them that ask, him?

³ And, stretching forth the hand, he touched him, saying,––I am willing, be cleansed! And, straightway, cleansed was his leprosy.

⁸ Now the multitudes, seeing, were struck with fear, and glorified the God who had given authority, such as this, unto men.
⁹ And Jesus, passing aside from thence, saw a man presiding over the tax–office, called, Matthew, and saith unto him,––Be following me. And, arising, he followed him.

¹³ But go ye, and learn what this meaneth,––Mercy, I desire, and not, sacrifice; For I came, not to call the righteous, but sinners.
¹⁴ Then come near unto him the disciples of John, saying,––Wherefore do, we, and the Pharisees, fast, whereas, thy disciples, fast not?

²² And, Jesus, turning and seeing her, said,––Take courage! daughter, Thy faith, hath made thee well. And the woman was made well, from that hour.

²⁷ And, as Jesus, was passing aside from thence, there followed him, two blind men, crying aloud and saying,––Have mercy on us, O Son of David! ²⁸ And, when he entered the house, the blind men came unto him,––and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye, that I can, do this? They say unto him, Yea, Lord! ²⁹ Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it done unto you. ³⁰ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus, sternly charged them, saying, Mind! let no one know!

³⁷ He that loveth father or mother above me, is not, worthy, of me,––and, he that loveth son or daughter above me, is not, worthy, of me; ³⁸ And, he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not, worthy, of me. ³⁹ He that hath found his life, shall lose it,––and, he that hath lost his life, for my sake, shall find it.

⁵ The, blind, recover sight, and, the lame, walk, lepers, are cleansed, and, the deaf, hear,––and, the dead, are raised, and, the destitute, are told the joyful tidings;

²³ And all the multitudes were beside themselves, and were saying, Can, this one, be, the Son of David?

³² And, whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him,––but, whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or the coming.

⁷ Hypocrites! well prophesied concerning you, Isaiah, saying–– ⁸ This people, with the lips, do, honour, me, while, their heart, far off, holdeth from me; ⁹ But, in vain, do they pay devotions unto me, teaching, for teachings, the commandments of men.

²² And lo! a Canaanite woman, from those bounds, coming forth, began crying out, saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter, is miserably demonized. ²³ But, he, answered her no a word. And his disciples, coming forward began requesting him, saying––Dismiss her, because she is crying out after us.

²⁸ Then, answering, Jesus said to her––O woman! great, is, thy faith! Be it, done, for thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed, from that hour.

²¹ From that time, began Jesus Christ to be pointing out to his disciples that he must needs, into Jerusalem, go away, and, many things, suffer, from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain,––and on, the third day, arise.

²² And, as they were being gathered together in Galilee, Jesus said unto them––The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men; ²³ And they will slay him, and, on the third day, will he, arise. And they were grieved exceedingly.

³ and said––Verily, I say unto you, Except ye turn and become as the children, in nowise, shall ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

³ and said––Verily, I say unto you, Except ye turn and become as the children, in nowise, shall ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens. ⁴ Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this child, the same, is the greatest, in the kingdom of the heavens;

¹³ Then, were brought unto him children,––that he might lay his hands upon them, and pray. And, the disciples, rebuked them. ¹⁴ But, Jesus, said––Suffer the children––and do not hinder them––to come unto me,––for, of such, is the kingdom of the heavens. ¹⁵ And, laying his hands upon them, he went his way from thence.
¹⁶ And lo! one coming near unto him, said, Teacher! what good thing shall I do, that I may have life age–abiding? ¹⁷ And, he, said unto him––Why dost thou question me concerning that which is good? There is, One, that is good! But, if thou desirest, into life, to enter, be keeping the commandments.

¹⁷ And, he, said unto him––Why dost thou question me concerning that which is good? There is, One, that is good! But, if thou desirest, into life, to enter, be keeping the commandments. ¹⁸ He saith unto him, Which? Jesus, said––These: Thou shalt not commit murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal,––Thou shalt not bear false witness;

¹⁸ He saith unto him, Which? Jesus, said––These: Thou shalt not commit murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal,––Thou shalt not bear false witness;

¹⁸ He saith unto him, Which? Jesus, said––These: Thou shalt not commit murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal,––Thou shalt not bear false witness; ¹⁹ Honour thy father and thy mother,––and––Thou shalt love thy neighbour as, thyself.

¹⁹ Honour thy father and thy mother,––and––Thou shalt love thy neighbour as, thyself.

¹⁹ Honour thy father and thy mother,––and––Thou shalt love thy neighbour as, thyself. ²⁰ The young man saith unto him––These all, have I kept,––What, further, do I lack?

²⁰ The young man saith unto him––These all, have I kept,––What, further, do I lack?

²⁰ The young man saith unto him––These all, have I kept,––What, further, do I lack? ²¹ Jesus said unto him––If thou desirest to be perfect, Withdraw! sell thy substance, and give to the destitute,––and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens; and come! be following me.

²¹ Jesus said unto him––If thou desirest to be perfect, Withdraw! sell thy substance, and give to the destitute,––and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens; and come! be following me.

²¹ Jesus said unto him––If thou desirest to be perfect, Withdraw! sell thy substance, and give to the destitute,––and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens; and come! be following me. ²² And the young man, hearing, this word, went away sorrowing,––for he was holding large possessions.

²² And the young man, hearing, this word, went away sorrowing,––for he was holding large possessions.
²³ And, Jesus, said unto his disciples––Verily, I say unto you, A rich man, with difficulty, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

²³ And, Jesus, said unto his disciples––Verily, I say unto you, A rich man, with difficulty, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens. ²⁴ Again I say unto you––Easier, is it for, a camel, through the eye of a needle, to enter, than a rich man––into the kingdom of God.

²⁴ Again I say unto you––Easier, is it for, a camel, through the eye of a needle, to enter, than a rich man––into the kingdom of God. ²⁵ And, hearing it, the disciples were being struck with the greatest astonishment, saying––Who then can be saved?

²⁵ And, hearing it, the disciples were being struck with the greatest astonishment, saying––Who then can be saved? ²⁶ And, looking intently, Jesus said unto them––With men, this is, impossible, but, with God, all things are possible.

²⁶ And, looking intently, Jesus said unto them––With men, this is, impossible, but, with God, all things are possible. ²⁷ Then, making answer, Peter said unto him––Lo! we, have left all, and followed thee,––What then shall there be, for us?

²⁷ Then, making answer, Peter said unto him––Lo! we, have left all, and followed thee,––What then shall there be, for us?

²⁷ Then, making answer, Peter said unto him––Lo! we, have left all, and followed thee,––What then shall there be, for us? ²⁸ And, Jesus, said unto them––Verily, I say unto you, As for you who followed me in the regeneration, When the Son of Man shall take his seat on his throne of glory, ye also, shall be seated upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

²⁸ And, Jesus, said unto them––Verily, I say unto you, As for you who followed me in the regeneration, When the Son of Man shall take his seat on his throne of glory, ye also, shall be seated upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. ²⁹ And, whosoever left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for sake of my name, manifold, shall receive, and life, age–abiding, shall inherit. ³⁰ But many shall be––first–last, and last–first.

¹⁷ And, Jesus, being about to go up unto Jerusalem, took unto him the twelve [disciples], apart, and, in the way, he said unto them–– ¹⁸ Lo! we are going up unto Jerusalem; and, the Son of Man, will be delivered up unto the chief–priests and Scribes, and they will condemn him, [to death], ¹⁹ And deliver him up unto the nations, to mock and to scourge and to crucify,––and, on the third day, he will, arise.

²¹ And, he, said to her––What desirest thou? She saith unto him––Bid, that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, in thy kingdom. ²² But Jesus, answering, said––Ye know not what ye are asking: Are ye able to drink the cup, which, I, am about to drink; They say unto him––We are able.

²⁹ And, as they were going forth from Jericho, there followed him a great multitude; ³⁰ and lo! two blind men, sitting beside the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried aloud saying––Lord! have mercy on us! Son of David! ³¹ But the multitude rebuked them, that they might hold their peace. But, they, the more, cried aloud, saying––Lord, have mercy on us! Son of David! ³² And, standing still, Jesus called them, and said––What desire ye I should do for you? ³³ They say unto him––Lord! that, our eyes, may open. ³⁴ And, moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes,––and, straightway, they recovered sight, and followed him.

⁹ and the multitudes, they who were going before him and they who were following after, were crying aloud, saying––Hosanna! to the Son of David, Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest. ¹⁰ And, when he entered into Jerusalem, all the city was startled, saying––Who is this? ¹¹ And, the multitudes, were saying––This, is the prophet Jesus,––He from Nazareth of Galilee.

¹⁴ And there came unto him blind and lame, in the temple, and he cured them. ¹⁵ But the Chief–priests and the Scribes, seeing, the marvels that he wrought, and the boys who were crying aloud in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! were greatly displeased;

³¹ Which of the two, did the will of the father? They say, The latter. Jesus saith unto them––Verily, I say unto you, the tax–collectors and the harlots, are going before you, into the kingdom of God; ³² For John came unto you, in a way of righteousness, and ye believed him not,––but, the tax–collectors and the harlots, believed him; and, ye, seeing it, were not even smitten with regret, afterwards, so as to believe him.

⁴² How, to you, doth it seem, concerning the Christ? Whose son, is he? They say unto him––David’s. ⁴³ He saith unto them––How then doth, David, in spirit, call him, Lord, saying–– ⁴⁴ The Lord, hath said unto, my Lord,––Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thy foes thy footstool? ⁴⁵ If then, David, calleth him, Lord, How, is he, his son?

¹² And, whoever shall exalt himself, shall be, abased, and, whoever shall abase himself, shall be, exalted,

²³ Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye tithe the mint and the anise and the cummin,––and have dismissed the weightier matters of the law––the justice, the mercy, and the faith; whereas, these, it was binding, to do, and, those, not to, dismiss. ²⁴ Blind guides! Straining out the gnat, but, the camel, swallowing.

²⁴ Blind guides! Straining out the gnat, but, the camel, swallowing.

⁹ Then, will they deliver you up into tribulation, and will slay you,––and ye will be men hated by all the nations, because of my name ¹⁰ And, then, will many be caused to stumble, and, one another, will deliver up, and will hate one another; ¹¹ And, many false prophets, will arise, and deceive, many; ¹² And, because of lawlessness being brought to the full, the love of the many, will grew cold. ¹³ But, he that hath endured throughout, the same, shall be saved.

²⁴ For there will arise, false Christs, and false prophets,––and they will show great signs and wonders, so that, if possible, even the chosen, should be deceived:––

⁴⁰ And he cometh unto his disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and said unto Peter––Thus, powerless are ye, one hour, to watch with me? ⁴¹ Be watching and praying, that ye may not enter into temptation: The spirit, indeed, is, eager, but, the flesh, weak. ⁴² Again, a second time, departing he prayed, saying: My Father! If it is impossible for this to pass, except I, drink, it, Accomplished, be, thy will. ⁴³ And coming, he, again, found them sleeping, for their eyes had become heavy. ⁴⁴ And, leaving them, he, again, departed, and prayed a third time, the same word, saying again.

⁶⁷ Then, spat they into his face, and buffeted him; and, others, struck him smartly,

² and, binding him, they led him away, and delivered him up unto Pilate the governor.

²⁸ and, unclothing him, a scarlet scarf, put they about him,–– ²⁹ and, plaiting a crown out of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand,––and, kneeling before him, began to mock him, saying––Joy to thee, King of the Jews! ³⁰ And, spitting upon him, they took the reed, and began striking upon his head.

⁶³ saying––Sir! we have been put in mind that, that deceiver, said, while yet living,––After three days, will I, arise.

¹ And, entering again into Capernaum, after some days, it was heard say––He is in a house; ² and many were gathered together, so that no longer was there room even in the approaches to the door,––and he began speaking unto them the word; ³ and they come, bearing unto him a paralytic, upborne by four,––

²⁶ And, though the king was, very grieved, yet, by reason of the oaths, and of them who were reclining, he would not refuse her.

⁹ Now they were about four thousand; and he dismissed them.

³⁰ And he straitly charged them, that, no one, they should tell concerning him. ³¹ And he began to be teaching them––The Son of Man, must needs suffer many things, and be rejected by the Elders and the High–priests and the Scribes,––and be slain; and, after three days, arise.

³² But they were not understanding the declaration, and feared, to question, him.

¹³ And they were bringing unto him children, that he might, touch, them,––the disciples, however, were rebuking them. ¹⁴ But Jesus, seeing it, was greatly displeased, and said unto them––Suffer the children to come unto me,––do not hinder them; for, of such, is the kingdom of God. ¹⁵ Verily, I say unto you––Whosoever shall not welcome the kingdom of God, as a child, in nowise shall enter thereinto.

¹⁵ Verily, I say unto you––Whosoever shall not welcome the kingdom of God, as a child, in nowise shall enter thereinto. ¹⁶ And, folding them in his arms, he was blessing them, having laid his hands upon them.
¹⁷ And, as he was going forth into a road, one, running, and kneeling before him, was questioning him––Good Teacher! what shall I do that, life age––abiding, I may inherit? ¹⁸ And, Jesus, said unto him––Why callest thou me, good? None, is good, save one––God.

¹⁸ And, Jesus, said unto him––Why callest thou me, good? None, is good, save one––God. ¹⁹ The commandments, thou knowest,––Do not commit murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal; Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.

¹⁹ The commandments, thou knowest,––Do not commit murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal; Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and mother. ²⁰ And, he, said unto him––Teacher! all these things, have I kept, from my youth.

²⁰ And, he, said unto him––Teacher! all these things, have I kept, from my youth. ²¹ And, Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said unto him––One thing, unto thee, is wanting; ––Withdraw! whatsoever thou hast, sell, and give unto [the] destitute,––and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come! be following me.

²¹ And, Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said unto him––One thing, unto thee, is wanting; ––Withdraw! whatsoever thou hast, sell, and give unto [the] destitute,––and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come! be following me. ²² And, he, becoming gloomy because of the word, departed sorrowing, for he was holding, many possessions.

²² And, he, becoming gloomy because of the word, departed sorrowing, for he was holding, many possessions. ²³ And, looking around, Jesus saith unto his disciples––With what difficulty, shall, they who have money, enter, into the kingdom of God!

²³ And, looking around, Jesus saith unto his disciples––With what difficulty, shall, they who have money, enter, into the kingdom of God! ²⁴ And, the disciples, were in amazement, because of the words. But, Jesus, again answering, saith unto them––Children! how difficult, it is, to enter, into the kingdom of God!

²⁴ And, the disciples, were in amazement, because of the words. But, Jesus, again answering, saith unto them––Children! how difficult, it is, to enter, into the kingdom of God! ²⁵ It is, easier, for a camel, through the eye of a needle, to pass, than for, a rich man, into the kingdom of God, to enter.

²⁵ It is, easier, for a camel, through the eye of a needle, to pass, than for, a rich man, into the kingdom of God, to enter. ²⁶ And, they, were being exceedingly struck with astonishment, saying unto him––Who, then, can, be saved?

²⁶ And, they, were being exceedingly struck with astonishment, saying unto him––Who, then, can, be saved? ²⁷ Looking at them, Jesus saith––With men, impossible, but not, with God; for, all things, are possible, with God

²⁷ Looking at them, Jesus saith––With men, impossible, but not, with God; for, all things, are possible, with God ²⁸ Peter began to be saying unto him––Lo! we, have left all, and followed thee!

²⁸ Peter began to be saying unto him––Lo! we, have left all, and followed thee! ²⁹ Jesus said––Verily, I say unto you––There is, no one, who hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for the sake of me, and [for the sake of] the glad–message, ³⁰ who shall not receive a hundredfold, now, in this season, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands,––with persecutions, and, in the age that is coming, life age–abiding. ³¹ But, many, shall be––first–last, and [the] Last–first.
³² Now they were in the way, going up unto Jerusalem, and Jesus was going on before them,––and they were in amazement; and, they who followed, were in fear. And, taking unto himself, again, the twelve, he began to be saying unto them, as to the things about to befall him–– ³³ Lo! we are going up unto Jerusalem; and, the Son of Man, will be delivered up, unto the Chief–priests and the Scribes,––and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him up unto the nations; ³⁴ And they will mock him, and spit upon him, and scourge him, and, slay; ––and, after three days, will he, arise.

⁴⁶ And they come into Jericho. And, as he was journeying forth from Jericho, and his disciples, and a considerable multitude, the son of Timaeus, blind Bar–Timaeus, a beggar, was sitting beside the road. ⁴⁷ And, hearing that it was, Jesus the Nazarene, he began to be crying aloud, and saying––O Son of David! Jesus! have mercy on me.

⁴⁷ And, hearing that it was, Jesus the Nazarene, he began to be crying aloud, and saying––O Son of David! Jesus! have mercy on me. ⁴⁸ And many were rebuking him, that he might hold his peace; but, he, so much the more, was crying aloud, O Son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁸ And many were rebuking him, that he might hold his peace; but, he, so much the more, was crying aloud, O Son of David, have mercy on me. ⁴⁹ And, coming to a stand, Jesus said––Call him! And they call the blind man, saying unto him––Take courage! rise! he calleth thee! ⁵⁰ And, he, throwing off his mantle––springing to his feet, came unto Jesus. ⁵¹ And, answering him, Jesus said––What desirest thou, I should do for thee? And, the blind man, said unto him––Rabboni! that may recover sight. ⁵² And, Jesus, said unto him––Go thy way! thy faith, hath saved thee. And, straightway, he recovered sight, and was following him in the road.

²⁵ And, when ye stand praying, forgive, if aught ye have against any,––that, your Father also, who is in the heavens, may forgive you your offences.

⁶⁵ And some began to be spitting at him, and, covering up his face, and to be buffeting him, and saying to him––Prophesy! And, the attendants, with smart blows, took him.

¹ And, straightway, early, when they had made, a council, the High–priest, with the Elders, and Scribes, and all the High–council, binding Jesus, led him away, and delivered him up unto Pilate.

¹⁷ and they array him in purple, and set upon him, when they have plaited it; a crown of thorns,–– ¹⁸ and began to be saluting him––Joy to thee! King of the Jews! ¹⁹ and were striking him on the head with a reed, and were spitting at him,––and, bowing their knees, were doing him homage. ²⁰ And, when they had mocked him, they put off him, the purple, and put on him, his own garments. And they lead him forth, that they may crucify him.

⁹ according to the custom of his priesthood, it fell to his lot to offer incense, entering into the Temple of the Lord; ¹⁰ and, all the throng of the people, was praying outside, at the hour of the incense offering.

³⁵ And answering, the messenger said unto her––The Holy Spirit, shall come upon thee, and, the power of the Most High, shall overshadow thee; wherefore, even that which is to be born, Holy, shall be called, Son of God.

³⁷ Because no declaration from God, shall be void of power.

⁵² He hath deposed potentates from thrones, and uplifted the lowly;

³⁷ and, she, had been a widow for as long as eighty–four years,––who left not the temple, with fastings and supplications, rendering divine service night and day; ––

⁵⁰ And, they, understood not the thing which he spake to them. ⁵¹ And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was submitting himself unto them. And, his mother, was closely observing all these things in her heart.

³⁹ And, standing over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her; and, instantly arising, she began to minister unto them.

⁸ And Simon, beholding, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying––Depart from me! Because, a sinful man, am I, O Lord!

¹¹ And, bringing the boats down on to the land, they left all, and followed him.

²⁴ But, that ye may know that, the Son of Man, hath, authority, upon the earth to forgive sins––he said to the paralyzed man––To thee, I say, Arise, and, taking up thy couch, be going thy way unto thy house. ²⁵ And, instantly arising before them, he took up that whereon he had been lying, and departed unto his house, glorifying God. ²⁶ And, astonishment, seized one and all, and they began glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying––We have seen unaccountable things, today!

⁴⁶ And why call ye me, Lord! Lord! and not do the things that I say?

⁶ And, Jesus, was journeying with them. But, he, by this time, being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying unto him––Lord! do not trouble thyself, for I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldst enter. ⁷ Wherefore, neither deemed I, myself, worthy to come unto thee,––but speak with a word, and let my servant be healed.

¹³ And, beholding her, the Lord, was moved with compassion over her, and said to her––Be not weeping!

²⁹ And, all the people, when they heard, and the tax–collectors, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion of John; ³⁰ but, the Pharisees and the lawyers, had set aside, the counsel of God against themselves, not being immersed by him.

³⁹ But the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spake within himself, saying, This one, if he were the prophet, would have been taking note, who and of what sort, is the woman, who is even touching him, that she is, a sinner.

⁴⁷ For which cause, I say unto thee––Her many sins, have been forgiven, because she hath loved, much: but, he to whom little is forgiven, little, loveth. ⁴⁸ And he said unto her––Thy sins have been forgiven. ⁴⁹ And they who were reclining together, began to be saying within themselves––Who is, this, that, even forgiveth sins? ⁵⁰ But he said unto the woman––Thy faith, hath saved thee,––Go thy way into peace.

⁵⁰ But he said unto the woman––Thy faith, hath saved thee,––Go thy way into peace.

¹⁴ And, that which in among the thorns fell, these, are they who have heard; and, by anxieties and wealth and pleasures of life being borne along, are choked up, and bear not to perfection.

⁴⁸ And, he, said to her––Daughter! thy faith, hath saved thee: Go thy way into peace. ⁴⁹ While yet he is speaking, there cometh one from the synagogue ruler’s, saying––Thy daughter, is dead: No further, be troubling the teacher.

²² saying––The Son of Man must needs suffer, many things, and be rejected by the Elders and High priests and Scribes, and be slain,––and, on the third day, arise. ²³ And he was saying, unto all––If any one intendeth after me to come, Let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily,––and be following me.

⁴⁵ But, they, understood not this saying, and it had become veiled from them, that they might not grasp it,––and they were afraid to question him, concerning this saying.

⁴⁹ But John, answering, said––Master! we saw some one, in thy name, casting out demons,––and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us. ⁵⁰ And Jesus said unto him––Do not forbid; for, whosoever is not against you, is, for you.
⁵¹ And it came to pass, when the days for taking him up were on the point of being fulfilled, even he himself, set, his face, to be journeying unto Jerusalem;

⁵⁴ And the disciples James and John, seeing it, said––Lord! wilt thou, that we bid fire come down from heaven, and destroy them?

⁵⁷ And, as they were journeying on the road, one said unto him––I will follow thee, whithersoever thou shalt depart. ⁵⁸ And Jesus said unto him––the foxes, have, dens, and, the birds of heaven, nests; but, the Son of Man, hath not where, his head, he may recline. ⁵⁹ And he said unto another––Be following me! But, he, said––Suffer me, first, to depart, and bury my father. ⁶⁰ And he said unto him––Leave, the dead, to bury their own dead; but, thou, departing, be declaring the kingdom of God. ⁶¹ And, yet another, said––I will follow thee, Lord; But, first, suffer me to bid adieu to them that are in my house. ⁶² But Jesus said [unto him]––No one, laying the hand on a plough and looking unto the things behind, is, fit, for the kingdom of God.

²⁵ And lo! a certain lawyer, arose, putting him to the test, saying––Teacher! by doing what, shall I inherit, life age–abiding? ²⁶ And, he, said unto him––In the law, what is written? how dost thou read? ²⁷ And, he, answering, said––Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, out of all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thine intention; and thy neighbour, as thyself? ²⁸ And he said unto him––Rightly, hast thou answered: This, do, and thou shalt live. ²⁹ But, he, wishing to justify himself, said unto Jesus––And, who is, my, neighbour?

⁴² Of few things, is there need, or, of one; Mary, in fact, hath chosen, the good part,––one which shall not be taken away from her.

⁵ And he said unto them––Who from among you, shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him––Friend! supply me with three loaves, ⁶ forasmuch as, a friend of mine, hath come off a journey unto me, and I have not what I can set before him; ⁷ and, he, from within, shall answer, and say––Be not disturbing me,––already, the door hath been fastened, and, my children, with me, are, in bed: I cannot rise and give thee? ⁸ I say unto you––Even though he will not give him, rising because of his being a friend of his, because, at least, of his importunity, he will rouse himself, and give him as many as he needeth.

⁸ I say unto you––Even though he will not give him, rising because of his being a friend of his, because, at least, of his importunity, he will rouse himself, and give him as many as he needeth.

⁸ I say unto you––Even though he will not give him, rising because of his being a friend of his, because, at least, of his importunity, he will rouse himself, and give him as many as he needeth. ⁹ I, therefore, unto you, say––Be asking, and it shall be given to you, Be seeking, and ye shall find,––Be knocking, and it shall be opened unto you.

⁹ I, therefore, unto you, say––Be asking, and it shall be given to you, Be seeking, and ye shall find,––Be knocking, and it shall be opened unto you. ¹⁰ For, whosoever asketh, receiveth, and, he that seeketh, findeth,––and, to him that knocketh, shall it be opened.

¹³ If therefore, ye, being, evil, know how to be giving, good gifts, unto your children, how much rather, will, the heavenly Father, give Holy Spirit unto them that ask him!

⁴² But alas for you, the Pharisees! because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every garden herb, and pass by justice, and the love of God. But, these things, it was binding to do, and, those, not to pass by.

⁵² Alas for you, the lawyers! because ye took away the key of knowledge: yourselves, entered not, and, them who were entering, ye hindered.

¹⁵ And he said unto them––Mind and be guarding yourselves from all covetousness; for not, in one’s abundance, doth his life spring out of his possessions.

¹⁷ And he began to deliberate within himself, saying––What shall I do? because I have not where I can gather my fruits.

³¹ Notwithstanding, be seeking his kingdom,––and, these things, shall be added unto you. ³² Be not afraid, the dear little flock! for your Father delighteth to give you, the kingdom. ³³ Sell your possessions, and give alms, make for yourselves purses that wax not old,––treasure unfailing, in the heavens, where, thief, doth not draw near, and, moth, doth not spoil.

¹⁷ And, as he was saying, these, things, all who had been setting themselves against him were being put to shame; and, all the multitude, were rejoicing over all the glorious things which were being brought to pass by him.

²³ And one said unto him––Lord! are they, few, who are being saved? And, he, said unto them––

¹¹ Because, everyone who exalteth himself, shall be abased; and, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted?

²⁶ If anyone cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, further also, even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. ²⁷ Whoever beareth not his own cross, and cometh after me, cannot be my disciple. ²⁸ For, who from among you, wishing to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost,––whether he hath sufficient for completion;

² and both the Pharisees and the Scribes were murmuring, saying, This man, unto sinners, giveth welcome, and eateth with them.

⁷ I say unto you––Thus, joy in heaven, will there be, over one sinner repenting, rather than over ninety–nine righteous persons, who indeed have, no need, of repentance.

¹⁸ I will arise, and go unto my father, and will say unto him––Father! I have sinned against heaven, and before thee: ¹⁹ No longer, am I worthy to be called a son of thine,––Make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came unto his own father. ²⁰ Now, while yet he was holding afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and, running, fell upon his neck, and tenderly kissed him. ²¹ And the son said unto him––Father! I have sinned against heaven, and before thee: No longer, am I worthy to be called a son of thine,––[make me as one of thy hired servants.]

²⁶ and, calling near one of the youths, he inquired what these things, could be.

²⁹ But, he, answering said unto his father––Lo! so many years as these, do I serve thee, and, at no time, a commandment of thine, have I transgressed,––And, unto me, at no time, hast thou given a kid, that, with my friends, I might make merry;

²⁹ But, he, answering said unto his father––Lo! so many years as these, do I serve thee, and, at no time, a commandment of thine, have I transgressed,––And, unto me, at no time, hast thou given a kid, that, with my friends, I might make merry; ³⁰ But, when, this thy son, who had devoured thy living with harlots, came, thou didst sacrifice, for him, the fatted calf;

³ And the steward said within himself––What shall I do, because my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? Dig, I cannot: to beg, I am ashamed.

⁹ And, I, unto you, say––For yourselves, make ye friends, with the unjust Riches, in order that, as soon as it shall fail, they may welcome you into the age–abiding tents.

¹⁵ And he said unto them––Ye, are they who justify themselves before men, but, God, knoweth your hearts; because, that which amongst men is lofty, is an abomination before God.

²⁰ And, a certain beggar, by name Lazarus, used to be cast near his gate, full of sores, ²¹ and to long to be fed from the crumbs that fell from the table of the rich man: nay! even, the dogs, used to come and lick his sores.

¹⁰ Thus, ye also, when ye have done all the things enjoined upon you, say––Unprofitable servants, are we,––What we were bound to do, we have done!

¹² And, as he was entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood still, afar off;

¹⁵ But, one from among them, beholding that he was healed, returned, with a loud voice, glorifying God,–– ¹⁶ and fell prostrate at his feet, giving him thanks; and, he, was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And Jesus, answering, said––Were not, the ten, cleansed? [but,] where, are, the nine? ¹⁸ Have none been found returning to give glory to God, save this one of another race? ¹⁹ And he said unto him––Arise and go thy way: thy faith, hath saved thee.

²⁶ And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so, will it be, even in the days of the Son of Man: ²⁷ They were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage,––until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. ²⁸ In like manner, as it came to pass in the days of Lot, They were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building,–– ²⁹ But, on the day Lot came out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all:–– ³⁰ According to the same things, will it be on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

¹ And he was speaking a parable unto them, as to its being needful for them always to pray, and not be faint–hearted;

⁴ And he was unwilling for a time; but, after these things, he said within himself––Although, neither God, I reverence, nor man, I respect,

⁷ And shall, God, in any wise not execute the vindication of his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, although he beareth long with regard to them? ⁸ I tell you––He will execute their vindication, quickly! nevertheless, though, the Son of Man, do come, will he, after all, find the faith on the earth?

¹¹ The Pharisee, taking his stand, these things unto himself was praying: O God! I thank thee, that I am not like the rest of men,––extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or, even as this tax–collector;

¹¹ The Pharisee, taking his stand, these things unto himself was praying: O God! I thank thee, that I am not like the rest of men,––extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or, even as this tax–collector; ¹² I fast twice in the week, I give a tenth of whatsoever things I gain!

¹⁵ And they were bringing unto him, even the babes, that he might touch, them; but the disciples, seeing it, began to rebuke them.

³⁸ And he cried aloud, saying––Jesus, son of David! have mercy upon me! ³⁹ And, they that were going before, began to rebuke him, that he might hold his peace. But, he, by so much the more, was crying out––O Son of David! have mercy upon me!

¹ And, having entered, he was passing through Jericho;

⁷ And all, when they beheld, began to murmur, saying––With a sinful man, hath he gone in to lodge! ⁸ But, taking his stand, Zacchaeus said unto the Lord––Lo! the half of my possessions, Lord, unto the destitute, I give; and, if, from anyone, I have taken aught by false accusation, I give back fourfold.

³⁷ And, when he was drawing near, already, unto the descent of the Mount of Olives, one–and–all the throng of the disciples began joyfully to be praising God with a loud voice, concerning all the mighty works which they had seen;

³⁹ And, certain of the Pharisees from the multitude, said unto him––Teacher! rebuke thy disciples.

⁴⁶ saying unto them––It is written, And, my house, shall be, a house of prayer; but, ye, have made, it, a den of robbers.

⁴⁷ Who devour the houses of widows, and, for a show, are a long time at prayer. These, shall receive, a heavier sentence.

³⁴ But be taking heed unto yourselves, lest once your hearts be made heavy––with debauch and drunkenness and anxieties about livelihood, and that day come upon you suddenly,

³⁶ But be watching in every season, making supplication, that ye may gain full vigour, to escape all these things that are about to be coming to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.

⁶³ And, the men who held him bound, kept mocking him, with blows; ⁶⁴ and, blindfolding him, questioned him, saying––Prophesy! which is he that smote thee? ⁶⁵ and, many other things, with profane speech, were they saying unto him.

¹ And one and all the throng of them, arising, led him unto Pilate.

¹¹ And Herod with his soldiery, having set him at nought, and mocked him, threw about him a gorgeous robe, and sent him back unto Pilate.

³⁵ And the people were standing, looking on. But the rulers were sneering, saying––Others, he saved, let him save himself,––if, this, is, the Christ of God, the Chosen.

⁴⁰ But the other, answering, rebuked him, and said––Neither fearest, thou, God, in that thou art, in the same judgment? ⁴¹ And, we, indeed, justly,––for, things worthy of what we have done, are we duly receiving, but, this man, nothing amiss, hath done. ⁴² And he went on to say––Jesus! remember me, whensoever thou shalt come into thy kingdom. ⁴³ And he said unto him––Verily, I say unto thee this day: With me, shalt thou be in Paradise.

⁴⁸ And, all the multitudes who had been drawn together unto this spectacle, having looked upon the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts, began to return.

⁶ [He is not here, but hath arisen:] Remember how he spake unto you while yet he was in Galilee: ⁷ Saying, as to the Son of Man, that he must needs be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified,––and, on the third day, arise.

⁷ Saying, as to the Son of Man, that he must needs be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified,––and, on the third day, arise.

²¹ We, however, were hoping that, he, was the one destined to redeem Israel! But indeed, even with all these things, this brings on, the third, day, since these things happened:––

²⁵ And, he, said unto them––O thoughtless ones! and slow in heart to rest your faith upon all things which the prophets have spoken:––

⁴⁴ And he said unto them––These, are my words, which I spake unto you yet being with you: That all the things that are written in the law of Moses and the Prophets and Psalms, concerning me, must needs be fulfilled. ⁴⁵ Then, opened he their mind, to understand the Scriptures;

⁴⁵ Then, opened he their mind, to understand the Scriptures; ⁴⁶ and said unto them––Thus, it is written, That the Christ, should suffer, and arise from among the dead on the third day;

⁴⁵ Philip, findeth, Nathanael, and saith unto him––Him, of whom wrote Moses in the law, and the Prophets, have we found.––Jesus, son of Joseph, him from Nazareth!

⁴⁷ The Pharisees, therefore, answered them––Surely, ye also, have not been led astray? ⁴⁸ Surely, none of the rulers, hath believed in him, nor of the Pharisees? ⁴⁹ But, this multitude, that take no note of the law, are, laid under a curse.

⁴⁸ The Jews answered, and said unto him––Do, we, not, well, say: Thou, art, a Samaritan, and hast a demon?

⁵ Whensoever I may be, in the world, I am, the light, of the world. ⁶ These things, having said, he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and laid the clay upon his eyes; ⁷ and said unto him––Withdraw! wash in the pool of Siloam,––which is to be translated, Sent. He went away, therefore, and washed, and came, seeing.
⁸ The neighbours, therefore, and they who used to observe him aforetime––that he was, a beggar, were saying––Is not, this, he that used to sit and beg?

²⁸ And they reviled him, and said––Thou, art, the disciple, of that man; but, we, are, Moses’, disciples:––

³⁴ They answered and said unto him––In sins, wast, thou, born, altogether; and art, thou, teaching, us? And they cast him out.

³⁹ And Jesus said––For judgment, I, unto this world, came: that, they who were not seeing, might see, and, they who were seeing, might become, blind. ⁴⁰ They of the Pharisees who were with him, heard, these things, and said unto him––Are, we also, blind?

⁶ This similitude, spake Jesus unto them; but, those men, understood not what the things were which he was speaking unto them.

¹⁶ These things, his disciples noticed not, at the first; but, when Jesus was glorified, then, remembered they that, these things, had, for him, been written,––and that, these things, they had done unto him.

³⁵ Jesus, therefore, said unto them––Yet a little while, the light, is, among you: Walk, while ye have, the light, lest, darkness, on you should lay hold; and, he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he drifteth. ³⁶ While, the light, ye have, believe on the light, that, sons of light, ye may become. These things, spake Jesus,––and, departing, was hid from them.

¹³ Ye, call me, The Teacher, and, The Lord,––and, well, say, for I am. ¹⁴ If then, I, have washed your feet,––[I] The Lord, and, The Teacher, ye also, ought to wash, one another’s, feet; ¹⁵ For, an example, have I given you,––that, just as, I, did unto you, ye also, should be doing.

¹ These things, have I spoken unto you, that ye may not be caused to stumble: ² Excommunicants from the synagogue, will they make you; Nay! there cometh an hour, that, every one who killeth you, shall think to be rendering, divine service, unto God! ³ And, these things, will they do, because they got to know, neither the Father nor me. ⁴ But, these things, have I told you,––That, whensoever their hour shall come, ye may remember, that, thereof, I told you. These things, however, I told you not, from the beginning, because I was, with you; ⁵ But, now, I go my way unto him that sent me, and, not one from among you, questioneth me––Whither goest thou? ⁶ But, because, these things, I have told you, sorrow, hath filled your heart.
⁷ But, I, the truth, am telling you––It is profitable for you, that, I, depart; for, if I should not depart, The Advocate, would in nowise come unto you, but, if I go, I will send him unto you. ⁸ And, having come, He, will reprove the world––Concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment: ⁹ Concerning sin, indeed, because they are not believing on me; ¹⁰ But, concerning righteousness, because, unto the Father, I go my way, and, no longer, do ye behold me; ¹¹ And, concerning judgment, because, the ruler of this world, hath been judged. ¹² Yet many things, have I, unto you, to be saying,––but ye cannot bear them, just now; ¹³ Howbeit, as soon as, he, hath come––The Spirit of truth, he will guide you into all truth; for he will not speak from himself, but, whatsoever he heareth, he will speak, and, the coming things, will he announce unto you. ¹⁴ He, shall glorify me; for, of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you. ¹⁵ All things, whatsoever the Father hath, are, my own; therefore, said I––Of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you.
¹⁶ A little while, and, no longer, ye behold me; and, again a little while, and ye shall see me. ¹⁷ Some of his disciples, therefore, said one to another––What is this which he is saying to us:––A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again a little while, and ye shall see me; and––Because I go my way unto the Father? ¹⁸ They were saying, therefore––What is this which he saith:––A little while? We know not [what he is saying]. ¹⁹ Jesus took note, that they were wishing to question him, and said unto them––Concerning this, are ye enquiring one with another,––because I said:––A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

²² And, when, these things, he had said, one of the officers who was standing by, gave a smart blow to Jesus, saying––Thus, answerest thou, the High–priest?

²⁸ So they lead Jesus from Caiaphas unto the judgment–hall. Now it was early; and, they themselves, entered not into the judgment–hall, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

³⁰ They answered and said unto him––If this one had not been doing, mischief, unto thee, had we not delivered him up.

³⁵ Pilate answered––Am, I, a Jew? Thine own nation, and the High–priests, delivered thee up, unto me! What, hast thou done?

¹ Then Pilate, therefore, took Jesus, and scourged him. ² And, the soldiers, plaiting a crown out of thorns, placed it upon his head, and, a purple robe, cast they about him; ³ and kept coming unto him, and saying––Joy to thee! O King of the Jews!––and were giving unto him smart blows. ⁴ And Pilate went forth again outside, and saith unto them––See! I lead him unto you outside, that ye may take knowledge, that, no single fault, do I find in him. ⁵ Jesus, therefore, came forth outside, wearing the thorn crown, and the purple mantle. And he saith unto them––Lo! the Man!

¹⁹ And Pilate wrote a title also, and placed on the cross; and there was written––JESUS, THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²² Ye men of Israel! hear these words:––Jesus the Nazarene, a man pointed out of God unto you by mighty works and wonders and signs, which God did through him in your midst, just as ye yourselves know, ²³ The same, by the marked out counsel and foreknowledge of God given up, through the hands of lawless men, suspending, ye slew,

³⁷ And, when they heard this, they were pricked to the heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles––What are we to do, brethren?

³⁹ For, unto you, is the promise, and unto your children,––and unto all them who are afar off: as many soever as the Lord our God shall call unto him.

⁴⁴ And, all who believed, with one accord, began to hold all things common; ⁴⁵ and, their possessions and goods, were they selling and distributing them unto all, in so far as anyone had need.

¹ Now, Peter and John, were going up into the temple, for the hour of prayer––the ninth; ² And, a certain man, who had been, lame from his mother’s womb, was being carried,––whom they used to lay daily at the door of the temple––the [door] called Beautiful, that he might ask alms of them who were entering into the temple:

¹³ The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob,––the God of our fathers, hath glorified his servant Jesus:––whom, ye, indeed, delivered up and denied to Pilate’s, face when he had adjudged to release him;

¹⁰ Be it known unto you all, and unto all the people of Israel: that, in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene,––whom, ye, crucified, whom, God, raised from among the dead, in him, doth, this man stand by, in your presence, whole.

²¹ They, however, further charging them with threats, let them go, finding nothing as to how they might chastise them, on account of the people; because, all, were glorifying God for that which had come to pass; ––

³⁴ For there was not so much as anyone, lacking, among them; for, as many as were possessors of lands or houses, selling them, were bringing the prices of the things that were being sold, ³⁵ And laying them at the feet of the Apostles, while on the other hand they were distributing unto each one, in so far as any one had, need. ³⁶ And, Joseph, who had been surnamed Barnabas by the Apostles, which is to be translated Son of Exhortation,––a Levite, a Cyprian by nation, ³⁷ Having a field, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the feet of the Apostles.

¹⁸ And, having heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying––Hence, even unto the nations, God hath granted repentance unto life.

³⁰ and, leading them forth outside, said––Sirs! what must I be doing, that I may be saved?

²¹ And he said unto me––Be taking thy journey; because, I, unto nations afar off, will send thee.

⁶ But Paul, getting to know that, the one part, were Sadducees and, the other, Pharisees, began to cry aloud in the council––Brethren! I, am, a Pharisee, son of Pharisees:––Concerning a hope, even of a rising again of the dead, am I to be judged. ⁷ And, as this he was saying, there arose a dissension of the Pharisees and Sadducees; and rent asunder was the throng. ⁸ For, Sadducees, say, there is no rising again, nor messenger, nor spirit, whereas, Pharisees, confess them both.

⁵ inasmuch as they were aforetime observing me, from the outset,––if they please to bear witness,––that, according to the strictest sect of our own religion, I lived, a Pharisee.

¹⁸ To open their eyes; that they turn from darkness unto light, and the authority of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance among them who have been made holy by the faith respecting me.

³ Concerning his Son,––who came to be of the seed of David, according to flesh,

¹⁴ Whose mouth, of cursing and bitterness, is full, ¹⁵ Swift, are their feet to shed blood; ¹⁶ Destruction and misery, are in their ways, ¹⁷ And, the way of peace, have they not known: ¹⁸ There is no fear of God before their eyes.

²⁰ Inasmuch as, by works of law, shall no flesh be declared righteous before him,––through law, in fact, is discovery of sin.

²⁷ Where, then, the boasting! It is excluded. Through what kind of law? Of works? Nay! but through a law of faith:

⁵ Whereas, unto him that worketh not but believeth on him that declareth righteous the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.

¹ Having, therefore, been declared righteous by faith, let us have, peace, towards God, through our Lord Jesus Christ,––

⁸ But God commendeth his own love unto us in that––we as yet being sinners, Christ in our behalf died.

²⁰ Law, however, gained admission, in order that the fault might abound, but, where the sin abounded, the favour greatly superabounded: ²¹ In order that––just as sin reigned in death, so, also, favour, might reign through righteousness unto life age–abiding, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

²¹ What fruit, therefore, had ye then––in things for which ye now are taking shame to yourselves? For, the end of those things, is death. ²² Whereas, now, having been freed from sin, and made servants unto God, ye have your fruit for sanctification and, the end, life age–abiding. ²³ For, the wages of sin, is death; but, God’s gift of favour, is life age–abiding, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

⁷ What, then, shall we say? Is the law sin? Far be it! On the contrary, I had not discovered, sin, save through law, for even, of coveting, I had not been aware if, the law, had not kept on saying––Thou shall not covet; ⁸ Howbeit sin taking, occasion––through the commandment, wrought out in me all manner of coveting; for, apart from law, sin is dead; –– ⁹ And, I, was alive, apart from law, at one time, but, the commandment coming, sin sprang up to life,

⁹ And, I, was alive, apart from law, at one time, but, the commandment coming, sin sprang up to life, ¹⁰ Whereas, I, died,––and the commandment which was unto life was found by me to be, itself, unto death; ¹¹ For, sin,––taking occasion––through the commandment, completely deceived me and, through it, slew me:

²⁵ If, however, what we do not behold we hope for, with endurance, are we ardently awaiting [it]; ––

³³ Who shall bring an accusation against the chosen ones of God? God, who declareth righteous?

³¹ Whereas, Israel, though in pursuit of a law of righteousness, unto a law, have not attained. ³² Wherefore? Because, not by faith but as by works, [have they sought it]: they have stumbled at the stone of stumbling,

¹ Brethren! the delight of my own heart and my supplication God–ward in their behalf, are for salvation; ² For I bear them witness that they have, a zeal for God,––but not according to correct knowledge; ³ For, not knowing God’s righteousness and, their own, seeking to establish, unto the righteousness of God, have they not submitted;

³ For, not knowing God’s righteousness and, their own, seeking to establish, unto the righteousness of God, have they not submitted;

¹² In hope, rejoicing, in tribulation, enduring, in prayer, persevering,

³ For, they who bear rule, are not a terror unto the good work but unto the evil. Wouldst thou not be afraid of the authority? That which is good, be thou doing, and thou shall have praise of the same; ⁴ For, God’s minister, is he unto thee for that which is good. But, if, that which is evil, thou be doing, be afraid! For, not in vain, the sword he beareth; for, God’s minister, he is,––an avenger, unto anger, to him who practiseth what is evil.

⁹ For, this––Thou shall not commit adultery, Thou shall not commit murder, Thou shall not steal, Thou shall not covet, and if there is any different commandment, in this word, is summed up, [namely]––Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

¹⁰ But, thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? Aye! and thou, why dost thou despise thy brother? For, all of us, shall present ourselves unto the judgment seat of God;

²⁶ For be looking at the calling of you, brethren,––that [there were] not many wise, according to flesh. Not many powerful, not many high–born: ²⁷ On the contrary––the foolish things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame them who are wise, and, the weak things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame the things that are mighty,

²⁹ So that no flesh should boast before God.

⁷ For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou which thou didst not receive? But, if thou didst even receive it, why dost thou boast, as though thou hadst not received it? ⁸ Already, ye have become full, already, ye are become rich,––apart from us, ye are become kings! And I would indeed ye had become kings, that, we also, with you, might have together become kings!

¹⁴ For the husband that believeth not is hallowed in the wife, and the wife that believeth not is hallowed in the brother: else were, your children, impure, but, now, are they, pure.

²⁰ Brethren! do not become children, in your understandings; but, in baseness, become babes, while, in your understandings, ye become, full–grown.

³ For I delivered unto you, among the first things, what also I received:––how that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, ⁴ And that he was buried, and that he hath been raised, on the third day, according to the Scriptures,––

⁹ For, I, am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God. ¹⁰ But, by favour of God, I am what I am, and, his favour, which was unto me, hath not been made void,––but, much more abundantly than they all, have I toiled, albeit not, I, but the favour of God with me.

¹ Wherefore, having this ministry, even as we received mercy, we faint not;

² For he saith––In an approved season, have I hearkened unto thee, and, in a day of salvation, have succoured thee; ––Lo! now, a well–approved season, Lo! now, a day of salvation:

⁹ Now, am I rejoicing,––not that ye were grieved, but that ye were grieved unto repentance; for ye were grieved according to God, in order that, in nothing, should ye receive damage from us. ¹⁰ For, grief according to God, worketh, repentance unto salvation, not to be regretted; although, the grieving of the world, worketh, death. ¹¹ For lo! this very thing––the being caused to grieve, according to God:––what manner of diligence it wrought out in you,––nay! defence,––nay! sore displeasure,––nay! fear,––nay! earnest desire,––nay! jealousy,––nay! avenging. In every way, ye shewed yourselves to be, chaste, in the matter.

⁸ In this behalf, thrice, besought I, the Lord, that it might depart from me;

¹⁴ And was making advancement, in Judaism, above many contemporaries in my nation, being, surpassingly zealous, of my paternal instructions.

²⁴ And they were glorifying, God, in me.

¹⁶ Knowing, however, that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, [nor at all] save through faith in Christ Jesus; even we, on Christ Jesus, believed, that we might be declared righteous––by faith in Christ, and not by works of law; because, by works of law, shall no flesh be declared righteous.

¹⁰ For, as many as are of works of law, are, under a curse,––for it is written––Accursed, is everyone that continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law to do them.

¹⁰ For, as many as are of works of law, are, under a curse,––for it is written––Accursed, is everyone that continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law to do them. ¹¹ Moreover, that, in law, no one, is declared righteous with God, [is] evident,––because, The righteous one, by faith, shall live; ¹² And, the law, is not of faith, but––he that hath done them, shall live in them, ¹³ Christ, hath redeemed, us, out of the curse of the law, having become, in our behalf, a curse; ––because it is written––Cursed, is every one that hangeth upon a tree; ––

⁹ And, in doing that which is honourable, let us not be fainthearted; for, in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not.

¹⁹ And what the surpassing greatness of his power unto us who believe,––according to the energy of the grasp of his might ²⁰ which he energised in the Christ, when he raised him from among the dead, and seated him at his right hand in the heavenlies,

⁴ But, God, being rich in mercy, by reason of the great love wherewith he loved us, ⁵ Although we were dead by our offences, gave us life together with the Christ,––by favour, ye have been saved,–– ⁶ And raised us up together, and seated us together in the heavenlies, in Christ: ⁷ That he might point out, in the oncoming ages, the surpassing riches of his favour in graciousness upon us, in Christ Jesus; ⁸ For, by his favour, have ye been saved, through means of faith, and this [hath come to pass]––not from you, of God, the free–gift! ⁹ Not from works, lest anyone should boast.

⁹ Not from works, lest anyone should boast. ¹⁰ His, in fact we are––his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus upon a footing of good works, which God prepared beforehand, that, therein, we might walk.

⁵ For, this, ye know, if ye take note––that no fornicator, or impure or greedy person, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God.

² Honour thy father and thy mother,––which indeed is the first commandment with promise,

¹⁸ With all prayer and supplication, praying in every season, in spirit, and, thereunto, watching, with all perseverance and supplication, for all the saints,––

⁴ Although, indeed, I, might have confidence even in flesh. If any other thinketh to have confidence in flesh, I, more:–– ⁵ Circumcised, the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews,––regarding law, a Pharisee,

⁵ Circumcised, the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews,––regarding law, a Pharisee, ⁶ Regarding zeal, persecuting the assembly, regarding the righteousness that is in law, having become blameless.

⁶ Regarding zeal, persecuting the assembly, regarding the righteousness that is in law, having become blameless. ⁷ But, whatever things, unto me, were gain, the same, have I accounted, for the Christ’s sake, loss; ⁸ Yea, doubtless! and I account all things to be, loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom, the loss, of all things, have I suffered, and do account them refuse, in order that, Christ, I may win,

¹³ Brethren! I, as to myself, reckon that I have, not yet, laid hold; one thing, however,––the things behind, forgetting, and, unto the things before, eagerly reaching out,

⁶ For nothing, be anxious, but, in everything, by your prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let, your petitions, be made known unto God;

⁵ Make dead, therefore, your members that are on the earth––as regardeth fornication, impurity, passion, base coveting, and greed, the which, is idolatry,––

¹² Put on, therefore, as men chosen of God, holy and beloved, tender affections of compassion, graciousness, lowliness of mind, meekness, long–suffering,

²⁰ Ye children! be obedient unto your parents in all things, for, this, is, well pleasing, in the Lord;

² Unto prayer, be devoting yourselves, watching therein with thanksgiving:

¹² Epaphras who is from among you, a servant of Christ Jesus, saluteth you,––at all times, contending in your behalf in his prayers, that ye may be caused to stand complete and fully assured in everything willed by God;

¹⁰ Night and day, making very abundant entreaties, that we may see your face, and fit in the things which are lacking in your faith?

¹ But, concerning the times and the seasons, brethren,––ye have, no need, that, unto you, anything be written; ² For, ye yourselves, perfectly well know––that, the day of the Lord, as a thief in the night, so, cometh; ³ As soon as they begin to say––Peace! and safety! then, suddenly, upon them, cometh destruction,––just as the birth–throe unto her that is with child,––and in nowise shall they escape.

¹⁷ Unceasingly, pray,

⁶ If, at least, it is a, righteous thing with God, to recompense, affliction, unto them that afflict you,

¹⁰ Whensoever he shall come, to be made all–glorious in his saints, and to be marveled at in all who believed,––because our witness unto you was believed,––in that day.
¹¹ Unto which end, we are also praying continually for you, that our God may count, you, worthy of your calling, and fulfill every good–pleasure of goodness and work of faith, with power,–– ¹² That the name of our Lord Jesus may be made all–glorious in you, and, ye, in him, According to the favour of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.

¹² Grateful, am I unto him that empowered me, Christ Jesus our Lord, in that, faithful, he accounted me, putting me into ministry,–– ¹³ Though, formerly, a defamer, and persecutor, and insulter; nevertheless mercy was shown me, because, without knowledge, I acted, in unbelief: ¹⁴ Yet exceeding abundant was the favour of our Lord, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Faithful, the saying! and, of all acceptance, worthy,––that, Christ Jesus, came into the world, sinners, to save: of whom, the chief, am, I; ––

¹⁵ Faithful, the saying! and, of all acceptance, worthy,––that, Christ Jesus, came into the world, sinners, to save: of whom, the chief, am, I; –– ¹⁶ Nevertheless, on this account, was mercy shewn me,––that, in me, the chief, Christ Jesus might shew forth his entire longsuffering, for an ensample of them about to believe on him unto life age–abiding.

¹⁶ And, confessedly great, is the sacred secret of godliness,––Who was made manifest in flesh, was declared righteous in spirit, was made visible unto messengers, was proclaimed among nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.

⁸ For, the bodily training, for little, is profitable, whereas, godliness, for all things is profitable,––having, promise, of life––the present and the coming.

⁵ But, she who is indeed a widow, and is left alone, hath turned her hope towards God, and is giving attendance unto the supplications and the prayers, night and day,––

⁶ Now it is a great means of gain––godliness, with a sufficiency of one’s own;

⁹ But, they who are determined to be rich, fall into temptation, and a snare, and many foolish and hurtful covetings, the which, sink men into ruin and destruction,–– ¹⁰ For, a root of all the vices, is the love of money, which, some, being eager for, have been seduced from the faith, and have pierced, themselves, about with many pangs.

¹⁸ To be doing good, to be rich in noble works, to be, generous in giving, ready for fellowship,–– ¹⁹ Treasuring up for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold on the life [which is life] indeed.

³ Grateful, am I, unto God,––unto whom I am rendering divine service from my progenitors in a pure conscience, that, incessant, hold I the remembrance, concerning thee, in my supplications; day and night,

¹ Paul, a servant of God––an apostle moreover of Jesus Christ,––according to the faith of the chosen ones of God, and the personal knowledge of the truth that is according to godliness,––

¹² For, living, is the word of God, and, energetic, and more cutting than any knife with two edges, and penetrating as far as a dividing asunder of soul and spirit, of joints also, and marrow, and able to judge the impulses and designs of the heart; ¹³ And there is, no created thing, can be secreted before him, but, all things, are naked and exposed to his eyes:––as to whom is, our discourse.

¹⁶ Let us, then, be approaching with freedom of speech, unto the throne of favour, that we may receive mercy, and, favour, may find, for seasonable succour.

²⁶ For, such a high–priest as this, for us, was [even] suited: Loving, noble, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and become, higher than the heavens;

¹² Because, propitious, will I be as to their unrighteousnesses, and, of their sins, in nowise will I be mindful, any more.

²³ Let us hold fast the confession of the hope without wavering,––for, faithful, is he that hath promised; ²⁴ And let us attentively consider one another, to provoke unto love and noble works,–– ²⁵ Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, according to the custom of some, but exhorting, and by so much the more as this, by as much as ye behold, the day, drawing near. ²⁶ For, if, by choice, we be sinning, after the receiving of the full–knowledge of the truth, no longer, for sins, is there left over, a sacrifice,

³⁵ Do not, then, cast away your freedom of speech,––the which hath a great recompense. ³⁶ For, of endurance, ye have need, in order that, the will of God having done, Ye may bear away, the promise. ³⁷ For, yet a little while, how short! how short! The Coming One will be here, and will not tarry;

³ For take ye into consideration––him who hath endured, such contradiction, by sinners against themselves, lest ye be wearied, in your souls becoming exhausted.
⁴ Not yet unto blood, have ye resisted, against sin, waging a contest; ⁵ And ye have quite forgotten the exhortation which, indeed, with you as with sons, doth reason:––My son! be not slighting the discipline of the Lord, neither be fainting, when by him, thou art reproved;

⁵ Without fondness for money, be your way of life,––being content with the present things,––for, he, hath said: In nowise, thee, will I leave, no indeed! in nowise, thee, will I forsake: ⁶ So that, taking courage, we may be saying––The Lord, hasteth to my cry,––I will not be put in fear: what shall, man, do unto me?

¹⁷ Every good giving, and every perfect gift, is, from above, coming down from the Father of lights––with whom is no alternation, nor shadow cast, by turning:

⁵ Hearken! my brethren beloved:––Hath not, God, chosen the destitute in the world [to be] rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? ⁶ Whereas, ye, have dishonoured the destitute man! Do not, the rich, oppress you? and, themselves, drag you into courts of justice? ⁷ Do not, they, defame the noble name which hath been invoked upon you?
⁸ If ye are, indeed, fulfilling, a royal law, according to the scripture––Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, nobly, are ye doing; ⁹ But, if ye are shewing respect of persons, sin, are ye working, being convicted by the law as transgressors!

⁹ But, if ye are shewing respect of persons, sin, are ye working, being convicted by the law as transgressors! ¹⁰ For, a man who shall keep, the whole law, but shall stumble in one thing, hath become, for all things, liable,––

¹⁰ For, a man who shall keep, the whole law, but shall stumble in one thing, hath become, for all things, liable,–– ¹¹ For, he that hath said––Do not commit adultery, hath also said––Do not commit murder,––now, if thou dost not commit adultery, but dost commit murder, thou hast become a transgressor of law.

¹¹ For, he that hath said––Do not commit adultery, hath also said––Do not commit murder,––now, if thou dost not commit adultery, but dost commit murder, thou hast become a transgressor of law. ¹² So, be speaking, and, so, doing, as they who, through means of a law of freedom, are about to be judged;

²¹ Abraham our father, was it not, by works, he was declared righteous––when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar? ²² Thou seest that, his faith, had been working together with his works, and by his works did his faith become full–grown,–– ²³ And the scripture was fulfilled which saith––And Abraham believed God, And it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and, God’s friend, was he called: ²⁴ Ye see that––by works, a man is declared righteous, and not by faith alone. ²⁵ And, in like manner also, Rahab the harlot, Was it not, by works, she was declared righteous, when she gave welcome unto the messengers, and, by another way, urged them forth?

⁶ Howbeit he giveth, greater, favour. Wherefore it saith––God, against the haughty, arrayeth himself, Whereas, unto the lowly, he giveth favour.

¹⁰ Be made low in presence of the Lord, and he will lift you up.

¹ Come now! ye wealthy! Weep ye, howling, for your hardships which are coming upon you:

¹ Come now! ye wealthy! Weep ye, howling, for your hardships which are coming upon you: ² Your wealth, hath rotted, and, your garments, have become, moth–eaten,––

² Your wealth, hath rotted, and, your garments, have become, moth–eaten,–– ³ Your gold and silver, have rusted away, and, their rust, shall be, witness against you, and shall eat your flesh, as fire! Ye have laid up treasure in days of extremity:––

³ Your gold and silver, have rusted away, and, their rust, shall be, witness against you, and shall eat your flesh, as fire! Ye have laid up treasure in days of extremity:–– ⁴ Lo, the wage of the workers who have out down your fields––that which hath been kept back, by you, is crying out; and, the outcries of them who reaped, into the ears of the Lord of hosts, have entered:

⁴ Lo, the wage of the workers who have out down your fields––that which hath been kept back, by you, is crying out; and, the outcries of them who reaped, into the ears of the Lord of hosts, have entered: ⁵ Ye have luxuriated upon the land, and run riot, ye have pampered your hearts in a day of slaughter;

⁵ Ye have luxuriated upon the land, and run riot, ye have pampered your hearts in a day of slaughter; ⁶ Ye sentenced––ye murdered the Righteous one! Is he not arraying himself against you?

⁶ Ye sentenced––ye murdered the Righteous one! Is he not arraying himself against you? ⁷ Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the Presence of the Lord:––Lo! the husbandman, awaiteth the precious fruit of the earth, having patience for it, until it receive the early and the latter rain: ⁸ Be, ye also, patient, Stablish your hearts, because, the Presence of the Lord, hath drawn near.

¹⁴ As obedient persons, not configuring yourselves unto your former covetings in your ignorance:

² As new–born babes, for the pure milk that is for the mind, eagerly crave, that, thereby, ye may grow unto salvation:––

⁹ But, ye, are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a peculiar treasure, that, the excellences, ye may tell forth, of him who, out of darkness, hath called you into his marvelous light:––

⁵ In like manner, ye younger men––submit yourselves unto elders; ––All, however, one towards another, gird on humility; because, God, against the haughty, arrayeth himself, whereas, unto the lowly, he giveth favour. ⁶ Be made lowly, therefore, under the strong hand of God, that he may lift, you, up in due time,––

³ And, in greed, with forged words, will they, of you, make merchandise: for whom, the sentence from of old, is not idle, and, their destruction, doth not slumber.

⁸ But, this one thing, forget not, beloved,––that, one day, with the Lord, is as a thousand years, and, a thousand years, as one day.

⁸ But, this one thing, forget not, beloved,––that, one day, with the Lord, is as a thousand years, and, a thousand years, as one day.
⁹ The Lord is, not slack, concerning his promise, as some count, slackness; but is long–suffering with regard to you, not being minded that any should perish, but that, all, unto repentance, should come.

⁹ The Lord is, not slack, concerning his promise, as some count, slackness; but is long–suffering with regard to you, not being minded that any should perish, but that, all, unto repentance, should come.

⁸ If we say––Sin, have we none! we are deceiving, ourselves, and, the truth, is not in us. ⁹ If we are confessing our sins, faithful, is he and, righteous––that he should forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰ If we say––We have not sinned! false, are we making, him, and, his word, is not in us.

¹⁵ Be not loving the world, nor yet the things that are in the world: if anyone be loving the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

¹⁰ Do not fear the things which thou art about to suffer. Lo! the adversary is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried, and may have tribulation ten days. Become thou faithful until death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

¹⁷ He that hath an ear, let him hear what, the Spirit, is saying unto the assemblies. Unto him that overcometh, I will give, unto him, of the hidden manna, and I will give unto him a white stone, and, upon the stone, a new name written, which, no one, knoweth, save he that receiveth it.

¹⁷ Because thou sayest, Rich, am I, and have become enriched, and, of nothing, have I need, and knowest not that, thou, art the wretched one, and pitiable, and destitute, and blind, and naked,

²¹ He that overcometh, I will give, unto him, to take his seat with me in my throne, as, I also, overcame, and took my seat with my Father in his throne.

¹⁰ And they cried out with a loud voice, saying––How long, O Sovereign, the Holy and True, dost thou not vindicate and avenge our blood from them that dwell upon the earth?

¹⁵ For this cause, are they before the throne of God, and are rendering divine service unto him, day and night, in his sanctuary; and he that sitteth upon the throne shall spread his tent over them;

²⁰ Be glad over her, thou heaven! And ye saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets! For that God hath exacted your vindication from her.

¹⁶ I, Jesus, have sent my messenger, to bear witness unto you of these things, for the assemblies. I, am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright and the morning Star.
